P3SS soft start valves provide for the safe introduction of pressure to machines or systems. They allow the pressure to gradually build to a set point before fully opening to deliver full air line pressure. The controlled introduction of pressure can be an important safety factor and prevent damage to tooling when the air pressure is introduced at machine or system start up. When pressure is supplied to the inlet port, gradual filling of the downstream system occurs through the adjustment needle valve. The piston opens the main valve when the downstream side of the valve reaches a certain volum of the supply air.
