Product Overview
The WILKERSON V18-C3-0000 is a pneumatic lockout valve engineered for safe isolation and lockout/tagout (LOTO) of compressed air and inert gas lines in industrial process systems. Manufactured by Wilkerson, a recognized brand in compressed air treatment and pneumatic control, this valve provides a manual means of depressurizing downstream equipment and securing it against accidental re-energization during maintenance. The V18-C3-0000 operates as a general process and pneumatic valve, featuring a lockable handle mechanism that allows maintenance personnel to physically secure the valve in the closed position. It is designed for inline installation within pneumatic distribution networks, serving as a critical safety component in industrial air preparation and control circuits.
