Airline Equipment – Soft Start Up Valve
Soft start-up valves enable a gradual initial pressurization of a system and quick exhaust by blocking the supply of air to minimize system shock.

AV2000/3000/4000/5000 Series, Soft Start-up Valve
Series AV soft start-up valves allow the user to set the initial rate of system pressurization to minimize system shock. When deactivated, the valve quickly exhausts the system for safe servicing of equipment.
- Modular connectivity with FRL components
- Available voltages: 12, 24VDC; 100, 110~120, 200, 220VAC
- Large effective flow area
- Electrical entry options: grommet, DIN connectors
- Port sizes: 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, 3/4

AV2000/3000/4000/5000-A Soft Start Valve
Series AV-A soft start-up valves allow the user to set the initial rate of system pressurizations to minimize system shock. When deactivated, the valve quickly exhausts the system for safe servicing of equipment.
- Improved flow and energy efficiency vs. previous AV
- Modular connectivity wiht FRL components
- White to match current FRL color Scheme
- Available voltages: 12, 24VDC; 100, 110~120, 200, 220VAC

AVL2000/3000/4000/5000 Series, Soft Start-up Valve w/ Lock Out
Series AVL adds lock-out capability to the basic AV series design to permit safe servicing of the equipment once the pneumatic supply has been shut off. The black button on a yellow body aids in identifying the valve as a pneumatic disconnect. It is available with multiple operating voltage choices as a manually operated valve with no power requirements.
- Soft start valve w/lock out function
- Modular connectivity with FRL components
- Electrical entry options: DIN connector, M12 connector
- The AVL is an energy isolation device, it is not an emergency stop device
