Lockout Tagout Valve Lockouts

Gate Valve Lockouts

TRADESAFE Gate Valve Lockouts are engineered to prevent accidental or unauthorized operation during maintenance, repairs, or inspections. Each gate valve lock is made from industrial-grade, impact- and temperature-resistant materials.

Each gate valve lockout encircles the valve handle, preventing it from being turned and effectively isolating hazardous energy sources. Overlapping hinges, reinforced locking points, and compatibility with padlocks or hasps ensure strong security for both individual and group lockout/tagout procedures. By keeping valves locked in place, these valve lockouts help prevent leaks, spills, and other dangerous releases that could endanger workers or the environment.

Available in a wide range of sizes compatible with 1” diameter gate valve handles up to 24” diameter handles, TRADESAFE Gate Valve Lockouts are designed to adapt to various worksite needs. An adjustable model is also offered, providing flexible coverage for 1” to 6-1/2” diameter handles with a single device. Each lockout features a central knockout that can be removed for use with OS&Y or rising stem gate valves, ensuring compatibility across different valve types, including gas, propane, and water valves.

Valve Lockouts FAQs

What is the purpose of a lockout valve?

The purpose of a lockout valve is to isolate hazardous energy sources by preventing the valve from being opened or closed. This protects workers from leaks, pressure releases, or unintended equipment activation during repair or servicing.

What is a gate valve lockout?

A gate valve lockout is a safety device designed to completely enclose a gate valve handle. Locking the handle in place prevents accidental or unauthorized operation during maintenance, ensuring OSHA lockout/tagout compliance.

How to use a gate valve lockout?

To install, place the lockout device over the gate valve handle, adjust it to fit, and secure it with a padlock. For rising stem (OS&Y) valves, some models feature a removable knockout for proper fit.

What is the most common use of a butterfly valve?

Butterfly valves are commonly used to regulate the flow of liquids and gases in pipelines. In lockout/tagout, butterfly valve lockouts secure the handle in the “off” position, preventing accidental flow during maintenance.

How to tell if a gate valve is open or closed?

A gate valve is open when the handwheel is turned counterclockwise and closed when turned clockwise. Rising stems move up or down to show position, while non-rising types need the wheel or flow checked before lockout.

Can one valve lockout be used for different valve sizes?

Yes, many of our lockout devices are adjustable and designed to fit a range of valve sizes. Gate valve lockouts adapt to multiple handle diameters, while butterfly valve lockouts secure common valve dimensions.
