Valves

1/4NPT: For many years SATGURU shafts have only been available with the 1/4NPT "Schrader type" valve, since it was the only type that would meet OSHA and IAPA requirements for use with compressed air over 35 psi. The 1/4NPT valve cannot be deflated with the finger, it requires some sort of a tool which is the main problem since tools damage the top of the valve. The 1/4NPT valve should be used with the 3/8NPT inflator/deflator with a quick disconnect to remove it from the air line to deflate the shaft, allowing escaping air safely through the deflators body, and away from the operators skin.

This new series of push button valves meet safety requirements since they are "vented" which keeps escaping air from being injected into a finger when a finger is used to deflate a shaft. A tool is still recommended to release the air.

The button part is threaded onto the stem so that they will not fall apart as do the current push button valves on the market. They also have an internal O’ring around the stem to stop "blow-back" while filling. This feature allows higher pressure to be generated in the shaft with less effort.
