Parker Watts QIX IK20V Modular Lockout Shut-Off Valve, 3-Way Ball
A lockout valve at the inlet of an FRL bank is usually there because an inspector asked for it, and that is a reasonable thing to be asked for. IK20V is the QIX modular version: a 3-way ball valve that isolates the station and vents the trapped downstream air through a 1/8 in. NPTF port, so the assembly is genuinely at zero pressure before anyone opens a bowl or changes a tool.
Specifications
- Parker part number: IK20V
- Type: modular 3-way ball lockout shut-off valve, inlet mounted
- Vent port: 1/8 in. NPTF
- Adds 1.4 in. to overall system width
Allow for the width
That 1.4 in. is the only dimension that catches people out. If the FRL bank was laid out to fit a specific gap on a machine frame, measure before ordering rather than after. Retrofitting a lockout valve into a run that has no room for it means moving the whole assembly.
Lockout, not just shut-off
The point of the vent position is energy isolation. A plain ball valve closes the supply and leaves the downstream side charged, which is exactly the condition that injures somebody during a tool change. Venting is what makes it a lockout device.
