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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eParker part number: IK20V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: modular 3-way ball lockout shut-off valve, inlet mounted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVent port: 1\/8 in.

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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLockout, not just shut-off\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AirComParts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68005230346515,"sku":"S6012","price":57.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/aircompressorstore.com\/products\/parker-watts-qix-ik20v-modular-lockout-shut-off-valve","provider":"Warthog Air Compressor Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
