Ross Controls Unveils Its New Stainless Steel L-O-X® Valve
(TROY, MI) - ROSS CONTROLS is pleased to announce the introduction of its new Stainless Steel L-O-X® energy isolation valve. For applications where corrosion or contaminants are a concern, the Stainless Steel L-O-X® offers an easy and reliable solution.
The valve keeps the proven L-O-X® performance and easy-to-identify shape, while providing a new corrosion-resistant stainless steel construction. As with the all L-O-X® products, the stainless steel valve is lockable only in the OFF position (with a tamperproof locking mechanism) and has a large exhaust port for rapid pressure relief. The Stainless Steel L-O-X® is available in port sizes ¼" to 2" and is easy to operate-it provides direct manual operation by a simple push/pull of the handle.
With its stainless steel construction and self-draining capability, this rugged valve is an excellent solution for washdown applications. Furthermore, its standard VITON seals provide reliable protection against contaminant ingression. The Stainless Steel L-O-X® is an asset in many applications including:
Food and Beverage
Pharmaceutical
Pulp and Paper
Chemical Processing
Oil and Gas
Off-Shore Industries
The Stainless Steel L-O-X® valve comes standard with a pressure sensing port which allows the optional installation of a pop-up indicator or pressure switch.

ROSS offers both an indicator and a switch as accessories for the valve.
