2. Install valve so that air flow is in the direction of arrow.

Installation must be upstream from devices it is to service
(e.g. lubricator, valve, cylinder, or tool), and mounted closely
to these devices. Mounting may be in any position.

3. Installing a filter upstream of the valve (as close to the unit

as possible) will provide added protection against rust, pipe
scale, and other foreign matter.

Operation

CAUTION: Shackle size of lock must be 7.1mm
(9/32 inch) in diameter or smaller.

Lockout Operation - With handle turned across the valve body
the inlet port is blocked. Outlet port is open to exhaust. A padlock
may be inserted through one of the two holes in the handle.

Normal Flow Operation - Turn handle to be in line with the
body to open valve. Inlet port is open to supply downstream air.

Installation

1. The valve should be installed with reasonable accessibility

for service whenever possible. Keep pipe or tubing lengths to
a minimum with inside clean and free of dirt and chips. Pipe
joint compound should be used sparingly and applied only to
the male pipe - never into the female port. Do not use PTFE
tape to seal pipe joints - pieces have a tendency to break off
and lodge inside the unit, possibly causing malfunction.
