Overview
The Ross Controls 1969A5002 is a Hoze-fuze air flow safety valve engineered to protect pneumatic systems from the dangers of hose or plastic tubing failure. Manufactured in the United States, this 3/4″ NPT threaded valve is a critical safety component that automatically shuts off air flow when a hose ruptures or detaches, preventing dangerous whip hazards and uncontrolled air discharge. The aluminum body with Hostalen piston construction delivers durability and reliable performance across demanding industrial applications.
Key Features
- Automatic shut-off on hose failure prevents air-whip hazards and personnel injury
- Rated for 260 psig maximum pressure with wide operating temperature range
- 3/4″ NPT port connection for standard industrial pneumatic installations
- Lightweight aluminum body with corrosion-resistant construction
- Minimizes compressed air waste and system downtime from emergency shutdowns
- Works with non-corrosive, non-flammable, and non-hazardous gases
