If you work with vacuum systems, this Loc-Line slide valve is a must-have component for controlling airflow! Made from durable orange and blue acetal copolymer plastic, this valve connects to 2-1/2 inch inner diameter Loc-Line modular vacuum hose and features a sliding gate that lets you precisely regulate air flow. The material resists corrosion and moisture beautifully, and it can handle temperatures up to 170°F. What's really cool is the ball-and-socket design that snaps together with other Loc-Line components for a tight, secure seal without any tools. It's REACH and RoHS compliant too, so you know it meets safety standards. Whether you're using it for coolant systems, dust removal, air delivery, or any low-pressure application, this valve gives you complete control over your vacuum system. Made right here in the USA by Lockwood Products, it's that genuine OEM quality that ensures reliability and performance. If you're tired of struggling with poorly fitting or flimsy valves, this one is built to last and makes adjusting your vacuum system so much easier. It's one of those simple components that just works perfectly every time.
