ENERGY-ISOLATION & EEZ-ON® PRODUCTS L-O-X® Valves EEZ-ON® Valves L-O-X® with EEZ-ON® Operation Valves • Manufacturers of Premium Pneumatic Controls since 1921 •

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulation (29 CFR 1910.147) details safety requirements for the control of hazardous energy during the maintenance and servicing of machines and equipment. WHAT DOES THE RULE REQUIRE? In general terms, the rule requires that energy sources (pneumatic, electric, hydraulic, etc.) be shut off or disconnected while equipment is being serviced. Furthermore, the disconnected valve or switch must be locked to prevent reactivation while anyone is working on the equipment. In the case of air-operated equipment, a lockout valve must be used to...

How Users of Pneumatic Equipment Can Comply with OSHA Rules Here’s how our famous L-O-X® valve helps... ROSS EEZ-ON® Valves Also Add to Plant Safety A ROSS EEZ-ON ® valve is designed to allow a gradual buildup of downstream air pressure before opening the line to full air flow. This gradual pressure buildup allows cylinders and other work elements to move slowly and more safely into their normal working positions before full line pressure buildup is applied. The time required for full pressure buildup is adjustable. EEZ-ON® valves are available as either 2/2 (2-port, 2-position) or 3/2...

The L-O-X® with EEZ-ON® operation valve combines shut-off certainty with gradual pressurization upon start-up. Special labels and adjustment screw indicates EEZ-ON® function. VALVE OPERATION VALVE CLOSED With a short push of the blue handle inward, the flow of supply is blocked and downstream air is exhausted via the exhaust port at the bottom of the valve. It is required by OSHA that the 2 L-O-X® with EEZ-ON® operation valve be padlocked in this position to prevent the handle from being pulled outward inadvertently when potential for human injury exists or servicing machinery. Combining...

• Reliable, Low-Cost Control • 1/4 to 3/8 Ports VALVE OPERATION 1/4 and 3/8 Manual L-O-X® valve shown padlocked In closed position. The valve can only be locked in the closed position. Push/pull operation - Push the handle inward to exhaust downstream air (lockable in this position). Pull the handle outward to supply air downstream. The ROSS LOX® 1/4 and 3/8 inch port size are the newest addition to ROSS' renowned family of safety-related products. Following any FRL components, an energy isolation valve is usually the first valve in the line supplying compressed air to equipment. The energy...

• Reliable, Low-Cost Control • 3/8 to 11/4 Ports VALVE OPERATION VALVE CLOSED 10 Manual L-O-X® valve shown padlocked in closed position. The valve can only be locked In the closed position. The position of the red handle Indicates full flow pressurizing or exhausting capability. Following any FRL components, an energy isolation valve is usually the first valve in the line supplying compressed air to equipment. The energy isolation valve should provide a quick means of shutting off the supply of air and exhausting the downstream lines. The ROSS manual L-O-X® valve has a large red operating...

Series 15 Manual L-O-X® Valves 2 • Reliable, Low-Cost Control • 11/2 and 2 Ports Manual L-O-X® valve shown padlocked in closed position. The valve can only be locked in the closed position. Push/pull operation - Push the handle inward to exhaust downstream air (lockable in this position). Pull the handle outward in to supply air downstream. 11/2 and 2 The ROSS LOX® 1-1/2 and 2 inch port size are the newest addition to ROSS’ renowned family of safety-related products. Following any FRL components, an energy isolation valve is usually the first valve in the line supplying compressed air to...

3 Inch L-O-X® Valve for Lockout Five good reasons to equip your pneumatic systems with our energy isolating L-O-X® valve: Effectiveness: A L-O-X® valve not only isolates the equipment by shutting off air supply, it exhausts stored or residual air immediately from downstream. Ease of Use: Air shutoff is simple; just push in the bright red handle. There's no turning or twisting and guessing whether the valve is completely open. Locking protection: L-O-X® valves are designed to allow secure lock-out upon shutdown, using standard padlocks. Reliability: Special Teflon seals help ensure...

Port Sizes up to 21/2 for Larger Systems VALVE OPERATION VALVE OPEN With the red handle pulled out, pilot air flows to the top of the actuating piston, causing it to open the inlet poppet. Supply air then flows freely from inlet to outlet, and the exhaust port is blocked. A detent keeps the L-O-X® handle in the open position. The handle is designed not to be locked in the open position, thereby allowing for quick shut-off when necessary. 01 Following any FRL components, an energy isolation valve is usually the first valve in the line supplying compressed air to equipment. The energy...

Remote Control in a Full Range of Valve Sizes Following any FRL components, an energy isolation valve is usually the first valve in the line supplying compressed air to equipment. The energy isolation valve should provide a quick means of shutting off the supply of air and exhausting the downstream lines. The shut-off function of the solenoid pilot controlled L-O-X® valve is the same as that of the manual L-O-X® valves. A short, full inward push of the red operating handle closes off the flow of air, and exhausts the pressure in the downstream line. In addition, the solenoid pilot...

AIR PRESSURE TO INLET When air pressure is first applied to the inlet, air flow to the piston is restricted by the adjustable needle in the delay orifice. Downstream air pressure gradually builds up at a rate determined by the setting of the adjustable needle. The EEZ-ON® valve is designed to allow a gradual buildup of downstream air pressure before opening to full air flow. This gradual pressure buildup allows cylinders and other work elements to move slowly and more safely into their normal working positions before full line pressure is applied. An adjustable restriction within...
