Locking Handle Ball Valve — 304 Stainless, Padlock Hole, Lockable Open or Closed

Produktbeschreibung

A locking handle ball valve is a ball valve fitted with a 304 stainless lever that carries a padlock hole, so the valve can be held in either the open or the closed position. Slip a padlock through the hole and the handle can’t be turned, so no one can open or close the line by accident or without authorization. The same valve is also called a lockable ball valve.

It is the safety upgrade behind every Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) procedure: during maintenance you set the valve where it needs to be, lock the handle, and the line stays that way until the padlock comes off. The handle replaces the standard lever across our stainless ball valve range — tell us the valve model and size when you order and we match it to the stem.

What Is Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO)?

LOTO is the safety practice of physically locking equipment in a safe state before maintenance, so it can’t be energized or opened while someone is working on it. On a ball valve that means holding it open or closed with a padlock that only the authorized worker can remove. This handle provides the lock point — the padlock hole lines up in both the open and closed positions.

Wichtige technische Daten

Vorteile & Nutzen

• Prevents accidental operation: the locked handle can’t be turned, so a valve set for maintenance stays where it is.
• LOTO compliant: gives energy-isolation procedures a real, physical lock point on the valve.
• Tamper resistance: in public or unsecured areas, the padlock stops unauthorized switching.
• 304 stainless: corrosion-resistant for outdoor, washdown and wet environments.

Anwendungsbereiche und Standorte

• Maintenance isolation: lock a valve open or closed while work is done downstream.
• Critical supply lines: keep a valve in its intended state so it is never switched by mistake.
• Public & unsecured areas: prevent tampering on valves the public can reach.
• Wasseraufbereitung & utilities: energy-isolation points across plant piping.

Häufig gestellte Fragen

What does a lockable handle do? It replaces the standard ball valve lever with one that has a padlock hole. With a padlock fitted, the handle cannot be turned — the valve is held open or closed until the lock is removed.

Does it lock in both open and closed? Yes. The padlock hole lines up in both positions, so you can secure the valve either fully open or fully closed.

Für welche Ventile ist es geeignet? It is matched to the valve stem across our stainless ball valve range. Tell us the valve model and size when you request a quote and we supply the right handle.
