BD-8233 Gate Valve Lockout - Industrial Valve Lockout Solution from China Suppliers and Factory
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.
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.
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.
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
Q: How does the central knockout feature work?
The central knockout is a removable piece in the middle of the lockout device. When removed, it allows the rising stem of a gate valve to pass through, enabling the device to secure the handle even when the stem is extended.
Q: Which valve sizes are covered by the BD-8231 to BD-8235 series?
This series consists of five different models designed to fit a wide range of valve handle diameters, from small 1-inch handles to large industrial gate valves, ensuring a precise fit for each size category.
Q: Is the material durable enough for outdoor industrial use?
Yes, these devices are typically manufactured from high-impact, chemical-resistant engineering plastics that withstand extreme temperatures and harsh industrial environments without cracking or fading.
Q: Does this lockout device support multiple padlocks?
Yes, the design typically includes multiple holes to accommodate several worker padlocks, ensuring that the valve cannot be operated until every individual worker has removed their personal lock.
Q: Why is OSHA compliance important for this device?
OSHA compliance ensures that the device meets specific safety standards for controlling hazardous energy. Using compliant lockout tools helps prevent workplace accidents and ensures your facility meets legal safety requirements.
Q: Can this device prevent all types of valve movement?
The 360-degree full-enclosure structure completely surrounds the valve wheel, physically blocking any rotation and preventing both accidental activation and unauthorized tampering.
