Foot Pedal Valve Assembly

The APS Foot Pedal Yard Air Valve was engineered to improve operator safety, ergonomics, and efficiency throughout modern rail yards where dependable compressed air access is essential to daily operations.

By allowing personnel to actuate yard air valves with their foot, operators remain upright, maintain better situational awareness, and keep their hands free for the task at hand. The result is a safer work environment, improved operator comfort, and more efficient rail yard operations.

Typical Applications:

  • Class I Brake Testing

  • Rail Yard Air Stations

  • Classification Yards

  • Switching Operations

  • Yard Air Distribution Systems
