TRADESAFE’s large gate valve lockout is designed for maintenance teams, safety managers, utility crews, and authorized employees who need to secure oversized gate valve handwheels during service, repair, inspection, and shutdown procedures. It fits valve handles from 13" to 18" in diameter and accommodates stem diameters up to 4-7/8", providing a purpose-built solution for large industrial water, gas, propane, and compatible forklift fuel-system gate valves.
The red clamshell body fully surrounds the valve handle and can be secured with up to four lockout padlocks for individual or group lockout applications. Industrial-strength ABS construction provides impact, chemical, temperature, and low-conductivity performance, while the removable center knockout extends compatibility to OS&Y and rising-stem gate valves. Padlocks are not included.
Gate Valve Lockout for 13" to 18" Valve Handles
This gate valve lockout is sized for large handwheels that require more coverage than standard compact valve lockout devices. Its enclosed design limits access to the operating handle after installation, helping authorized employees maintain clear control of the shutoff point throughout maintenance and repair work.

Gate Valve Lock with Premium ABS Construction
This gate valve lock is precision-molded from industrial-strength ABS selected for demanding indoor and outdoor work environments. The nonconductive material resists impact and common chemical exposure while maintaining its shape across a broad operating temperature range.
Material and visibility features include:
- Impact-resistant ABS construction
- Chemical-resistant body
- Nonconductive material
- Operating temperature range: -51°F to 300°F
- High-visibility red finish
- Printed “DANGER - Locked Out, Do Not Remove” warning label
- Reinforced body for frequent industrial use
- Detachable hinged design for compact stacking and storage
The durable ABS body is well suited for utilities, manufacturing plants, processing facilities, maintenance operations, and other workplaces where valve lockout equipment may be exposed to temperature changes, rough handling, or demanding jobsite conditions. Its high-visibility finish and warning label also make the locked-out valve easier to identify from a distance.
Lockout Gate Valve Handles with a Secure Clamshell Design
To lockout gate valve handles efficiently, the device opens at the hinge, closes around the handwheel, and is secured through the integrated lock holes. The overlapping cover design maintains fuller coverage around the valve handle and helps limit shifting, loosening, and partial exposure after installation.
Installation and security features include:
- Hinged clamshell design for straightforward installation
- Overlapping cover sections for stable handle coverage
- Removable center knockout for OS&Y and rising-stem gate valves
- Four integrated lock holes for group lockout applications
- Accepts up to four LOTO padlocks
- Maximum compatible padlock shackle diameter: 11/32"
- Detachable hinge for easier stacking and storage
- Lockout padlocks sold separately
The four lock holes allow multiple authorized employees to apply personal padlocks when group lockout procedures require individual control. The removable center section also gives teams additional flexibility when working with rising-stem configurations, without requiring a separate device when all stated dimensions are compatible.
Gate Valve Lockout Device for Large Industrial Applications
This gate valve lockout device is intended for large gate valves used in industrial water, gas, propane, utility, processing, and compatible fuel-system applications. By enclosing the handwheel and providing four padlock positions, it supports both individual and multi-worker lockout tasks while keeping the shutoff point clearly identified.
Proper sizing remains essential for effective use. Confirm that the valve handle measures between 13" and 18", the stem does not exceed 4-7/8", and the valve is a compatible gate-valve design before installation. For smaller handwheels or other valve types, select the correctly sized gate valve model or a dedicated ball or butterfly valve lockout.
Give your team a durable device built for oversized gate valve isolation. Add the appropriate LOTO padlocks for your site’s procedures and authorized employees. Choose the TRADESAFE large gate valve lockout for secure coverage, clear warning communication, and dependable daily use.
