Item Description
Managing compressed air or pneumatic machinery requires releasing stored energy safely, which is just as critical as controlling the active flow. At Hose and Fitting Supply, we deliver industrial-grade solutions engineered to protect your workspace and your personnel. Our Safety Exhaust Ball Valve with Locking Handle is specifically designed for operators who need a reliable shut-off that simultaneously bleeds downstream pressure, preventing dangerous equipment movement during routine maintenance.
Also available with a locking handle.

The primary advantage of these exhaust ball valves is their ability to vent trapped air to the atmosphere automatically upon closing. This critical function eliminates the risk of pneumatic buildup and unexpected actuator strikes. As you upgrade your facility's safety protocols, adding these specialized ball valves ensures you maintain total control over your system's latent energy.
To further secure your pneumatic lines, these locking handle valves allow you to physically lock the lever in the closed position, guaranteeing that the system cannot be repressurized until you explicitly remove the padlock. Despite these advanced safety mechanisms, you do not have to compromise on performance. These are constructed as full port valves, providing an unrestricted pathway that maintains your desired flow rates without causing turbulence or pressure drops.

Core System Advantages
- Automatic Depressurization: Activating the closed position instantly vents trapped downstream air, creating a safe, zero-energy zone for your technicians to perform repairs without the threat of sudden pneumatic discharge.
- OSHA-Compliant Security: The heavy-duty handle is designed to accept standard padlocks, providing an essential physical barrier against unauthorized or accidental system activation during critical maintenance windows.
- Unobstructed Media Transfer: Engineered with a maximum-diameter internal cavity, this unit ensures your air lines operate without restrictive bottlenecks, preserving your equipment's operational efficiency and reducing long-term energy costs.
