Female-female shut-off valve for compressed air

Shut off the air exactly where you need to, without emptying the receiver or stopping the whole workshop. Without a shut-off valve, every change of filter, coupler or tool means switching off the compressor and emptying the installation. This valve shuts off or opens the air supply instantly: fitted at the compressor outlet or at each outlet in the installation, it lets you isolate a section or change tools without losing the stored pressure.

Available as a compact 1/4" model or a lever model in 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2", with female threads on both sides so it can be mounted directly onto hex nipples, couplers and accessories.

Advantages

  • Instant shut-off: open and close the air in a single movement.
  • Easy maintenance: isolate filters and outlets without emptying the installation.
  • Two formats: lever, which is easier to operate, or compact, which takes up less space.
  • Three sizes: 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" female-female.

What it is for

  • Compressor or air receiver outlet.
  • Air outlets on the workshop network.
  • Upstream of filters, regulators and drains for maintenance.

Technical specifications

  • Threads: female - female
  • Operation: lever or compact
  • Sizes: 1/4" (compact and lever) · 3/8" · 1/2"

Vetonek tip

Install a shut-off valve at the outlet of each air receiver and upstream of each filter: maintenance will be much easier. Seal the male threads going into the valve with PTFE tape and do not use it to regulate the flow: it is designed to open or close.
