SMC VHS Series Pressure Relief Valve

Safely isolate air supply, exhaust residual pressure and help prevent accidental start-ups during maintenance.

When maintenance is performed on pneumatic equipment, safety starts with proper pressure isolation.

The SMC VHS Series Pressure Relief Valve provides a convenient and reliable means of isolating supplied pressure in a pneumatic system while exhausting downstream pressure for maintenance purposes.

For added safety, the valve can be locked in the exhaust position, making it an integral part of an effective pressure isolation system designed to help protect both personnel and equipment.

Air flow direction is easily identified through clear handle orientation and labelling, giving operators immediate visual confirmation of valve status.

Why Proper Pressure Isolation Matters:

Switching off equipment does not always remove the risk. Residual compressed air can remain trapped within a pneumatic system. An effective pressure isolation system helps ensure that stored pressure is safely released before work begins.

⚠ OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) requires hazardous sources on equipment to be isolated and secured through lockout or warning tag procedures during servicing and maintenance activities.
