Lockable Handle Design
The Apollo 75-100 Series includes an integrated locking handle arrangement that allows the valve to be padlocked in either the fully open or fully closed position. The same locking hardware is used in both positions, providing a practical method for controlling air or fluid flow during equipment operation, maintenance, or service.
Designed for Pneumatic Tool Isolation
Apollo designed the 75-100 Series to provide easy and safe maintenance of pneumatic tools. Locking the valve in the closed position helps prevent unintended flow while downstream tools or equipment are being serviced. Locking the valve in the open position can help prevent unauthorized valve operation where continuous flow is required.
