Abstract

A lock-out valve for pneumatic systems which provides the operator with mechanical means to exhaust the system and lock it out with a padlock or similar device and, when unlocked, provides a valve to control automatically the gradual reset of working cylinders and the filling of the system with operating pressure to a safe percentage of line pressure before full line flow is established.
