Pneumatic systems: staying safe

Compressed air can be dangerous if proper precautions aren’t taken. Consider the right pneumatic component, such as safety release valves. You can also plug unused ports with flow control valves, which offer a high tolerance to dirt contamination. Blocking valves are important for air flow and to maintain your desired setting. If you’re using a standard hose, opt for a reel for storage, keeping the area clear.
