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
As part of a 5-model series (BD-8231 to BD-8235), this specific unit is optimized for large valve handles, ensuring a tight and stable fit without excess movement.
Optimized Large-Diameter Fit
Specifically dimensioned as the primary large-scale tier within our valve safety series, providing a snug, slip-free fit for large industrial handwheels without excess movement.
Dual-User Lockout Security
Designed with two ports, allowing multiple authorized workers to affix their personal safety padlocks and danger tags simultaneously to meet group LOTO protocols.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the knockout design work for rising stem valves?
The center of the lockout device features a removable knockout. Once removed, the rising stem can pass through the center while the outer shell remains securely locked over the handwheel.
Can two workers lock out the same valve simultaneously?
Yes, the device is equipped with dual ports, allowing two separate padlocks to be attached, ensuring the valve cannot be operated until both workers remove their locks.
What valve sizes does the BD-8231 to BD-8235 series cover?
This series is designed to cover a wide range of industrial gate valves. This specific model is optimized for larger diameters to ensure a secure, slip-free fit.
Is the material durable enough for industrial environments?
Absolutely. The device uses a high-strength, semi-circular flat-box structure designed to provide a 360-degree physical barrier against harsh industrial conditions and unauthorized tampering.
Does this device comply with group LOTO protocols?
Yes, the dual-user lockout ports are specifically designed to meet standard group Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) safety requirements in industrial workplaces.
