GRACO 224040 – AirGard Pump Runaway Valve, 3/4″ NPT, Automatic Air-Line Shutoff

GRACO 224040 – Pump Runaway Valve, 3/4″ NPT, Automatic Air-Line Shutoff (AirGard)

Air run away control valve designed to automatically shut off air supply to prevent pump runaway conditions. This 3/4″ NPT safety device provides critical protection for fluid handling operations by monitoring and controlling air flow to pneumatic pumps.

Prevent serious pump damage by installing an Airgard Runaway Valve. When drums run empty or hoses rupture during unattended pump operation, you can suffer runaway pump damage. Under these conditions, the cycle rate accelerates out of control and your pump can literally destroy itself. So if your pumps operate out of sight or are not quickly accessible, get instant pump protection. Get Airgard. It’s an investment that can save you lots of money in pump repairs and even more on costly downtime.

Prevents pump damage by automatically closing the air line to stop the pump when a runaway pump condition occurs due to an empty barrel or hose leak.

Features:

Senses a runaway pump condition and automatically limits the compressed air supply to the pump,preventing damage.

Designed with corrosion-resistant parts and air passages for years of reliable performance even with dirty, moist, compressed air.

New test button lets you verify that the Airgard is ready to respond on demand.

Works on almost any air-powered pump, including models made by Graco and other competitive brands.
