To prevent accidental start-up, these valves can be locked in their off position with a padlock. Also known as 3-way and 3/2 valves, they create one action, such as extending a cylinder. Valves direct airflow from the inlet to your equipment and exhaust return airflow to create motion. They're normally closed to block airflow until actuated. Return actuation is by hand, so they stay actuated and return to their starting position only when you move the actuator again. In the off position, they exhaust air pressure from the system, allowing equipment to reset so the action can be repeated. They help meet OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 procedures for the control of energy sources that could injure workers.

Flow coefficient (Cv) is a measurement that indicates how much airflow can pass through a valve.
