Frequently Asked Questions
What type of valves is this lockout device suitable for?
It is specifically designed for gate valves. The unique knockout center also makes it compatible with rising stem gate valves.
How do I choose the right size for my valve handle?
This series includes 5 models (BD-8231 to BD-8235). You should measure the diameter of your valve wheel and select the corresponding model that matches those dimensions for a secure fit.
Can multiple workers lock out the same valve?
Yes, the device is designed to be used with LOTO padlocks and hasps, allowing multiple technicians to apply their individual locks for collective safety.
What is the advantage of the "knockout" design?
The knockout center allows a threaded rod (stem) to protrude through the lockout device, which is common in OS&Y or rising stem gate valves, without compromising the enclosure of the handle.
Is the material durable enough for industrial environments?
Absolutely. It is constructed from high-impact, chemical-resistant materials designed to withstand harsh industrial conditions and extreme temperatures.
Does this comply with OSHA standards?
Yes, this device is designed to meet standard Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) requirements, helping facilities remain compliant with safety regulations like OSHA 1910.147.
