TRADESAFE drum lockout provides a practical way to secure compatible drum bungholes, pipe openings, drainage holes, and other industrial plug openings where access needs to be restricted. The device combines a durable nylon locking body with two expandable rubber gaskets, allowing one assembly to accommodate multiple opening diameters without requiring a separate fixed-size plug for each application.
The wing-style handle expands the selected rubber gasket inside the opening to create a secure fit and an air- and water-tight seal. Once installed, the locking assembly accepts one safety padlock with a shackle diameter up to 3/8", while two thermoplastic screw-and-cover sets help keep the individual components attached when the device is removed.
Drum Lockout Device with Two Expandable Rubber Gaskets
This drum lockout device includes two interchangeable rubber gaskets designed to cover two different diameter ranges, giving maintenance and facility teams greater flexibility when securing compatible industrial openings. Each gasket expands as the wing handle is tightened, allowing the locking plug to grip the inside of the opening rather than relying on a single fixed diameter.
Part number: TSPPLG
Product specifications and included components:
- Quantity: 1 drum locking plug assembly
- Durable nylon locking body
-
Two expandable rubber gaskets
- Smaller gasket expands from 1-7/8" to 2-11/16" in diameter
- Larger gasket expands from 2-3/8" to 3-3/16" in diameter
- Separate reinforced base for each gasket
- Two thermoplastic screw-and-cover sets
- Overall lockout height: 5"
- Compatible with 1 safety padlock
- Maximum compatible padlock shackle diameter: 3/8"
- High-visibility red locking components
Measure the opening before use and select the gasket whose expansion range matches the required diameter. Using the correct gasket helps the device seat securely inside the opening while providing enough expansion for a stable locked position.
Drum Plug Lockout for Bungholes, Pipe Openings, and Drainage Holes
The drum plug lockout is designed for more than one type of industrial opening, making it useful where drums, piping, drainage points, or other compatible plug-style openings need controlled access. Its combination of rigid nylon components and expandable rubber allows the device to adapt to different opening sizes while maintaining a secure mechanical connection.
Typical compatible applications include:
- Drum bungholes
- Pipe openings
- Drainage holes
- Compatible industrial plug openings
- Openings within the specified gasket diameter ranges
- Maintenance and service applications where access to the opening must be restricted
As the gasket expands, the rubber presses against the inside of the opening and is designed to create an air- and water-tight seal. Compatibility should still be confirmed before installation, including the opening diameter and the available clearance around the locking assembly, especially where surrounding equipment or fittings could interfere with installation.
Drum Lockout Plug for Fast, Tool-Free Installation
The drum lockout plug uses a straightforward tightening mechanism that does not require specialized installation tools. Remove the existing compatible plug or cap, choose the appropriate rubber gasket, insert the assembly into the opening, and rotate the nylon wing handle clockwise until the gasket expands securely against the surrounding surface.
Once the device is properly seated, attach one safety padlock with a shackle diameter up to 3/8" to restrict operation of the locking mechanism. When authorized access can be restored, remove the padlock and rotate the wing handle counterclockwise to release the gasket; the thermoplastic screw-and-cover components help keep the assembly together during removal and handling.
Add the TRADESAFE drum lockout plug to your facility's lockout equipment when you need one reusable device for multiple compatible opening sizes. Verify the opening diameter, select the appropriate gasket, and pair the assembly with the safety padlock required for your application. Choose this compact locking solution for controlled access to compatible drum, pipe, and drainage openings.
OSHA-Compliant Drum Lock
Compliance with the OSHA Standard for The Control of Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) (29 CFR 1910.147) is vital to the safety of every employee on site. That’s why we make sure that all of our products help workplaces remain OSHA-compliant.
