The SMC VHS40-N04-Z is a manual 2-position 3-way lockout valve designed to isolate and exhaust compressed air in pneumatic systems during maintenance. It features 1/2 inch NPT ports and supports operating pressures up to 1 MPa, allowing operators to lock the valve in the closed position with a padlock to prevent unintended startup. This configuration directs inlet air to exhaust while blocking supply flow, providing a reliable shutoff point in air preparation setups for industrial machinery.
