Features:

• The Model 1091 toggle valve is an open or shut valve for air or gas lines up to 6000 PSI.
• In the normal or relaxed position the valve is shut and the lever extends straight out.
• When the lever is tipped in any direction the valve opens.
• A variety of levers can be connected to the 1/4"-20 thread. For example, using an eyebolt as shown, the valve could be operated by a lanyard.
• Alternatively, a flat bar could be attached to the toggle with a short bolt.

In many cases, the valve eliminates the need for snap action switches, solenoids, and other complicated devices to open or shut a line based on mechanical action.

One typical application is to open a cylinder charging line only when a protective door is shut. Here the door would push against the toggle to open the valve. A maximum of 30-inch pounds is required to actuate the valve at rated pressure. For example, a six-inch lever would require five pounds to operate. A one-inch thread section is provided on both ends permitting a variety of ways to mount the valve
