Gate Valve Lockout 3 in Red Plastic

The Brady 148648 lockout device fits rising-stem gate valves with handle diameters from 3 in to 7 in. It accepts up to two padlocks with shackles no larger than 3/8 in and accommodates valve handles up to 2 in thick. The bright red plastic body provides clear visual identification during lockout procedures.

Temperature and dimensional limits

The lockout operates reliably from -40 to 212 degrees F, covering most industrial environments. Its fixed geometry means it cannot secure valves with handles smaller than 3 in or larger than 7 in, nor can it accept padlock shackles exceeding 3/8 in. The device is designed only for rising-stem gate valves.

Simple installation with common pitfalls

The unit clamps around the valve handle without tools, and the two padlock holes allow dual-authorisation lockout. Installation fails when the handle diameter falls outside the 3 in to 7 in range or when the handle thickness exceeds 2 in. Users also encounter issues if padlock shackles are too large for the 3/8 in openings.

Questions about this item

Which Brady gate valve lockout fits a 3 inch to 7 inch handle range?

The 148648 model fits rising stem valve handles from 3 in to 7 in and accepts up to two padlocks with shackles up to 3/8 in diameter.

What does the temperature range of -40 to 212 degrees F mean on site?

The red plastic body stays functional from -40 Degrees to 212 Degrees F, so it will not become brittle in freezing plant areas or soften near steam lines.

How does the 3/8 inch padlock shackle limit affect lockout procedure?

Only padlocks with shackles 3/8 in or smaller will fit the two lock holes, so verify your existing padlocks before starting the isolation.
