Product Overview
The SMC VHS40-04 is a 3-port residual pressure release valve engineered by SMC Corporation, a global leader in pneumatic and process valve technology. This manually operated valve is designed to safely exhaust trapped residual pressure from pneumatic circuits before maintenance or disassembly, preventing hazardous actuator movement and ensuring operator safety. With its 3-port configuration (supply, outlet, and exhaust), the VHS40-04 provides a reliable lockout and pressure release function for downstream equipment, making it an essential safety component in industrial air preparation and control systems.
