VS Enterprises supplies Mercury hand slide valves from Noida as a simple, safe way to shut off air to a machine.
A hand slide valve is fitted in the air line. The air supply is turned on when the outer sleeve is moved in one direction and off when it is moved in the other direction, venting the air downstream. Not only is the machine disconnected from the air but it is also depressurised for easier maintenance.
Main air isolation at the machine inlet, before FRL units, and on individual air tools and branches.
Port size and thread type of your air line.
