China BD-8232 Gate Valve Lockout - Heavy-Duty Supplier Solution for Industrial Valve Security from Factory
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 smaller valve handles, ensuring a tight and stable fit without excess movement.
Reliable Zero-Energy Enforcement
Serves as a vital mechanical safeguard within your broader LOTO framework, ensuring energy isolation points remain locked down until the final technician completes their task.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the "knockout" design work for rising stem valves?
The center of the lockout device can be easily removed to allow the valve stem to protrude through the device while still completely covering and securing the handwheel.
What size valve handles are compatible with the BD-8231 to BD-8235 series?
This series offers five different sizes designed to fit valve handles ranging from 1 inch (25mm) up to 13 inches (330mm) in diameter.
Can multiple workers lock out the same valve?
Yes, the device is designed with multiple padlock holes, allowing several workers to apply their individual safety locks according to OSHA LOTO standards.
Is the material resistant to harsh industrial environments?
Absolutely. The devices are typically made from high-impact, durable engineering plastics (like Polypropylene) that resist chemicals and extreme temperatures.
Does this device prevent all types of valve operation?
Yes, once installed and locked, the device rotates freely around the handwheel or prevents the wheel from being turned, effectively isolating the energy source.
