TRADESAFE medium-size valve lock helps maintenance teams, safety managers, utility crews, and authorized employees secure compatible gate valve handwheels during service, repair, inspection, and shutdown procedures. This model fits valve handles from 2-1/2" to 5" in diameter and accommodates valve stems up to 1-3/4" in diameter, providing purpose-built coverage for common water, gas, propane, utility, and compatible fuel-system isolation points.
The high-visibility red clamshell housing encloses the operating handle and includes two integrated lock holes for individual or two-worker lockout applications. Industrial-strength ABS construction provides impact, chemical, and temperature resistance, while the overlapping cover, detachable hinge, and removable center knockout support secure placement, compact storage, and compatibility with qualifying OS&Y or rising-stem gate valves. Padlocks are not included.
Valve Lock for 2-1/2" to 5" Gate Valve Handles
This valve lock provides enclosed coverage for medium-size gate valve handwheels that exceed the capacity of compact lockout models. Once positioned around a compatible handle and secured with the required LOTO padlock or padlocks, the housing restricts access to the operating point and helps prevent unintended valve movement while maintenance is underway.

Measure the valve handwheel and stem before ordering to confirm compatibility. This mid-range model is a practical option when a compact lockout is too small but the isolation point does not require one of the larger gate valve devices.
Gate Valve Lockout with Industrial-Strength ABS Construction
This gate valve lockout is precision-molded from industrial-strength ABS selected for frequent use in demanding indoor and outdoor environments. Its lightweight, nonconductive body 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 housing
- Nonconductive material
- Operating temperature range: -51°F to 300°F
- Durable 1/8" body thickness
- High-visibility red finish
- Printed “DANGER – Locked Out – Do Not Remove” warning label
- Reinforced housing for recurring workplace use
- Detachable hinged construction for compact stacking and storage
The durable ABS body is well suited for manufacturing facilities, utilities, processing environments, maintenance departments, and outdoor service areas where valve lockout equipment may encounter temperature changes or repeated handling. Its red finish and prominent warning graphics also make the isolated valve easier for nearby personnel to identify.
Gate Valve Lockout Device with a Two-Lock Clamshell Design
The gate valve lockout device opens at the hinge, closes around the compatible handwheel, and is secured through the integrated lock holes. Its overlapping cover sections maintain fuller coverage around the operating handle, helping reduce shifting, loosening, and partial exposure after installation.
Installation and security features include:
- Hinged clamshell design for straightforward placement
- Overlapping cover sections for stable handwheel coverage
- Removable center knockout for qualifying rising-stem configurations
- Two integrated padlock positions
- Accepts padlock shackles up to 5/16" in diameter
- Supports individual and selected two-worker lockout procedures
- Enclosed design that restricts access to the valve handle
- Detachable hinge for easier stacking between uses
- Lockout padlocks sold separately
The two-lock configuration allows one or two authorized employees to maintain personal control of the same compatible isolation point when required by facility procedures. Removing the center section also extends the device’s usefulness to qualifying OS&Y and rising-stem valves when the handwheel and stem remain within the specified limits.
Gate Valve LOTO for Medium-Size Industrial Applications
This gate valve LOTO device is intended for compatible shutoff points used with outdoor water systems, gas lines, propane equipment, utility infrastructure, processing installations, and selected forklift fuel systems. Its medium-size enclosure balances useful internal capacity with a manageable format that can be stored in a maintenance cart, cabinet, or broader valve lockout kit.
Correct sizing and valve identification remain essential. Confirm that the handwheel measures between 2-1/2" and 5", that the stem does not exceed 1-3/4", and that the isolation point uses a compatible gate-valve design before installation; select another gate valve size or a dedicated ball or butterfly valve lockout when these requirements are not met.
Add dependable coverage for medium-size gate valve isolation points. Pair the device with the personal LOTO padlocks required by your facility’s hazardous energy control procedures. Choose the TRADESAFE gate valve lockout for durable construction, visible warning communication, and secure handle coverage.
OSHA-Compliant Gate Valve Lockout Device
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.
