BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown (Manual Controlled) - Generic 3.0in

The butterfly valve design in this BD Diesel Positive Air Shutdown system is a key detail, reducing the overall size and number of parts compared to other units. This manual-controlled system is crucial for specific industries like mining, oil refineries, and forestry where vehicles must have an emergency engine shutdown capability. By cutting off the air supply to the diesel engine, it effectively stops fuel ignition and prevents dangerous engine runaway situations, which can be caused by external hydrocarbons entering the intake. This system is designed to shut down the engine within seconds when activated.

Constructed with aluminum and stainless steel components, along with weatherproof electrical connectors, this kit is built to resist corrosion and withstand harsh environments. Installation is made simpler with the innovative bead boot locks, eliminating the need for welding to secure hose retaining beads. The kit includes the air shutoff valve, wiring harness, module, clamps, and other necessary hardware for a straightforward setup. It's a well-built safety measure, much like a fire extinguisher, providing peace of mind for critical applications.

For those operating in high-risk environments, having a reliable emergency shutdown system is paramount. This BD Diesel PAS unit offers an effective and robust solution. While this manual version is activated by the user, it's important to note that 24-volt systems will require an additional kit (part #1036740) for proper operation.
