Lock out most valves in your facility with just one device. These lockouts clamp onto a variety of valve handwheels and handles. They’re great for large levers, T-handles, wheels with odd shapes and sizes, and other handles that are hard to secure with specialized lockouts. However, they’re slower to install than specialized lockouts—you’ll have to configure different attachments depending on your handle type. These lockouts help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for the control of hazardous energy.

To install, first turn your handle to the off position. After assembling your lockout with all necessary attachments, clamp the body to your handle and turn the lockout wheel to tighten. Add a padlock to prevent removal of the lockout.

Each lockout comes with a blocking arm. Wedge the arm against a pipe or other surface in the direction the handle turns in—this will block its movement. If your handle turns in either direction, attach an additional blocking arm (sold separately).

For valve handles that turn with a squeeze trigger, clamp the lockout body to the handle so it wedges between the handle and the trigger.

For handwheels, clamp the lockout body to the edge of the wheel and run the included cable through the spokes and around a nearby pipe or surface. Then pull the cable through the lockout body for a tight hold.

More secure than standard lockout cables, these lockouts clamp to a surface nearby, giving you a fixed point to pull the cable tight. Since the body of the lockout doesn’t hang freely like on standard lockout cables, their cable stays taut. After locking out, you can still tighten these cables, but they won’t loosen until you remove all your padlocks and open them up. Clamp them onto anything that fits between their jaws before weaving the cable around the item you’re locking out. They’ll even secure difficult-to-lock devices, such as ball and butterfly valve handles.

With holes for multiple padlocks, each person can add their own as they start a job. Use a hasp in the bottom hole to add more padlocks for larger groups. These cables help you comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 requirements for locking out controls to prevent injuries. The cable is plastic coated, so it doesn’t scuff up surfaces.

Swap between the included steel and rubber jaws to fit your application. The steel jaws are more durable and will last longer. The rubber jaws are a better choice for delicate surfaces because they won’t leave scratches.
