Plug Valve Lockout Small is an essential safety component used to secure manually actuated plug valves during maintenance, repair, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. It ensures that plug valves remain in a fixed position, preventing accidental activation or unauthorized operation. Designed for both indoor and outdoor environments, this lockout device enhances workplace safety and supports compliance with energy-control standards.
Overview of the Plug Valve Lockout (Small)
This compact lockout device is engineered to fit plug valve stems with diameters up to 2.20 cm. Manufactured from durable polypropylene, it is resistant to chemicals, impact, and extreme temperatures. Its tamper-resistant design ensures that once locked, the valve cannot be operated until the lock is intentionally removed using proper lockout/tagout procedures.
One of the standout features is the permanently attachable base, which can remain installed on the valve without interfering with normal valve operation. Whether the valve is operated using a removable handle or a wrench, the attached base allows seamless use while ensuring quick lockout when needed.
