In harsh manufacturing environments, corrosion damage and contaminant ingression wreak havoc on productivity. To help customers protect their end-product quality and avoid costly downtime, Ross Controls has introduced a stainless steel L-O-X air entry unit, which combines a L-O-X energy isolation valve with an integrated filter/regulator in a compact, high-flow design. The products are all made with 316 stainless steel for corrosion protection in caustic environments such as the wastewater, oil, gas and pulp/paper industries.
The stainless steel L-O-X valve is equipped with fluorocarbon seals to safeguard against contaminant ingression. Like the standard L-O-X valve, the stainless model meets applicable safety standards such as OSHA, CSA, ISO, EN, ANSI/PMMI, ANSI and NACE. The valves:
The accompanying regulator helps provide consistent system pressure for reliable performance, and the filter helps prevent airline pollution. The package is available with 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1-inch port sizes. Additional options include stainless steel visual pressure indicator, pressure switch and silencers. The unit provides a manual drain, but automatic drain models are also available for systems that require it.
