Valve Lockout Devices are used to close off many kinds of pressured valves to ensure that the machinery remains switched off while workers carry out maintenance work. Cirlock have a full range of Valve Lockouts available.
Gate valve lockouts
We stock a range of gate valve lockout devices -GVL-1a to GVL-10- for valve handle sizes from 25mm to 350mm. These lockouts are moulded entirely from tough Polypropylene plastics for excellent chemical and temperature resistance. The devices are very easy to use; simply close the correct size device around the valve handle and attach a padlock through the provided holes, thus preventing access to the handle. The five different sized lockouts can be purchased individually, or as a set, and they will fit inside each other for easy storage. GVL- series are available in red colour.
Ball valve lockouts
The Universal Ball Valve Lockout Devices from Cirlock – BVL-1 – can be used to lock out most types of ball valves from 19mm to 32mm (½” to 1¼”). The ball valves can be locked in the fully closed position, or in the open position, when pressure relief is needed, or for dumping valves. It is easy to use, simply slide the over ball valve handle, squeeze together until tight, and insert one or more padlocks.
BVL-1 is made from tough reinforced Polypropylene plastics, for excellent chemical resistance. Colour is high visibility safety Yellow or Red, and it includes a ‘DANGER – Do Not Remove’ label. BVL-1 is made in Australia for Cirlock, Australia’s original lockout manufacturer.
Other Ball Lockout devices available include BVL-2 and BVL-3.
