Norgren T15 Pneumatic Ball Valve

Description:

The Norgren T15 Ball Valve is used in industrial pneumatic systems to provide manual shut-off, lockout, and exhaust functions for compressed air circuits. Commonly installed in FRL assemblies, pneumatic control panels, manufacturing equipment, packaging machinery, and process automation systems requiring safe isolation of air supplies during maintenance or servicing. Maintenance teams and system integrators use this valve for lockout/tagout procedures, air supply isolation, and pneumatic system maintenance. The T15 utilizes a low-pressure-drop ball valve design with a quarter-turn handle operation.

Applications:

The Norgren T15 ball valve is commonly used upstream or downstream of air preparation units to isolate compressed air systems and safely vent downstream pressure. Typical applications for the T15 include production machinery, assembly equipment, packaging lines, robotic cells, and industrial automation systems requiring manual pneumatic lockout capability and rapid depressurization for maintenance activities. The valve can be locked in either the open or closed position for safety compliance.
