Frequently Asked Questions
How does the central knockout design work for rising stem valves?
The center of the lockout device can be easily removed, creating an opening that allows the valve's rising stem to protrude while the outer housing continues to encase and secure the handwheel.
What size range does the BD-8231 to BD-8235 series cover?
This series is designed to fit a wide variety of gate valve handles, typically ranging from 1 inch to 13 inches in diameter, depending on the specific model selected.
Is this lockout device resistant to extreme industrial environments?
Yes, these devices are usually manufactured from high-strength engineering plastics (ABS) that are resistant to chemicals, temperature changes, and physical impact.
Can multiple padlocks be attached to one device?
Most models in this series feature multiple padlock holes, allowing several workers to apply their individual safety locks according to OSHA LOTO standards.
Does the semi-circular design make storage easier?
Absolutely. The two-part semi-circular design allows the pieces to nest together when not in use, significantly reducing the storage space required in safety cabinets.
