BD-8233 Gate Valve Lockout - Durable Energy Isolation Device from China Suppliers and Factory for Large Piping Systems
Smart Multifunction Design
The innovative central knockout design allows this device to accommodate rising stem gate valves. Simply remove the center piece to allow the rod to pass through while keeping the handle fully secured.
Full-Enclosure Security
The semi-circular, flat-box structure fits well over the valve wheel, providing a 360-degree physical barrier that prevents unauthorized access or accidental movement.
Precision Sizing for Every Valve
As part of a 5-model series (BD-8231 to BD-8235), this specific unit is optimized for medium valve handles, ensuring a tight and stable fit without excess movement.
OSHA Compliance
Functions as a critical mechanical safeguard within your corporate Lockout/Tagout framework, ensuring volatile flows remain safely locked down until the final lock is removed.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the knockout design work for rising stem valves?
The center of the lockout device features a removable "knockout" section. Once removed, it creates an opening that allows the stem of a rising gate valve to protrude through the device while the wheel remains fully enclosed and locked.
What valve sizes does the BD-8231 to BD-8235 series cover?
The series includes five different models designed to fit a wide range of gate valve handle diameters. Each model is precision-sized to ensure a secure fit for specific diameter ranges, from small to large industrial valves.
Is this device compliant with international safety standards?
Yes, our gate valve lockouts are designed to meet OSHA 1910.147 standards for the control of hazardous energy (Lockout/Tagout), ensuring they provide a reliable mechanical barrier in industrial environments.
Can multiple padlocks be used with this lockout device?
The device is designed to be used with standard safety padlocks. For group lockout situations involving multiple workers, it can be combined with a lockout hasp to accommodate several padlocks simultaneously.
What material is used for the full-enclosure structure?
The device is typically manufactured from high-impact, durable engineering plastics (like ABS or Polypropylene) that offer excellent resistance to chemicals, temperature extremes, and physical tampering.
