Safe valve position signals for handwheel valves
Netherlocks Safety Systems has designed a new universal mounting system to safely and securely fix valve position indicator switches onto handwheel-operated valves.
Locking out a valve with the NL-H is quick and easy.
The device is first fixed onto the valve handwheel or lever.
A stainless steel cable is then threaded through the NL-H and placed around a fixed point to ensure that the handwheel or lever cannot be operated.
Finally, a padlock is attached to the lock operating knob, preventing the NL-H from being removed.
Aside from doing away with large stocks of assorted lockout products, the NL-H removes the need for reconnaissance trips into the field to establish which sort of product will be required to fit a particular valve before work begins.
Operators and maintenance personnel can now simply retain their own lockout device in their toolbox, ready for use as required.
The NL-H is made entirely from AISI 316 stainless steel and is suitable for use in harsh or corrosive environments.
