Wisconsin-based Brady, an international manufacturer of industrial and safety printing systems and solutions, recently released its Collapsible Gate Valve Lockouts. These lockout covering devices are available in three sizes to secure valves with 3- to 18-inch diameter handles. The injection-molded styrene construction aims to withstand harsh outdoor conditions, while the patent-pending design includes knock-out centers to accommodate outside screw and yoke (OS&Y) valves.
“This new collapsible gate valve design provides secure lockout for a wider range of valves, with the use of fewer devices. These covers easily rotate around valve handles to the fully engaged position, while also folding into smaller sizes for easy storage on maintenance carts and in lockout kits.” says Tom Campbell, Global Product Manager, Lockout Tagout Solutions for Brady.
