Description
The Air-Saver is a motorised ball valve with an integral weekly timer, installed downstream of the air receiver to isolate the compressed-air supply outside operating hours. Up to 100 switching points can be distributed across a 1-7 day program, and a FLEX override lets operators open the valve outside the scheduled window. With the line shut, leakage at joints, fittings and tools no longer bleeds pressure overnight and the compressor does not cycle to make up lost air. The valve uses a nickel-plated brass body with a stainless steel ball and a slow-open profile to prevent water hammer.
