TRADESAFE Gate Valve Lockout - 2 Pack Valve Lockout Device for 1 inch to 2-1/2 inch Diameter Valve Handles, OSHA Compliant Lockout Tagout Valve for Professional and Industrial Use

Does the job. It is a well-engineered product and certainly does the job.

Strong and durable. I have also used several of these in the past

I have looked for a long time for an outdoor spicket lock. My grandchildren live with me and I am on a spring fed well system. They were always turning the water on and playing in the water. Sooo much fun for a 2.5 ande 3.5 yr old!! The down side was they'd leave the water running creating major mud ponds and worse we would run out of water and have to wait for it to replenish. That means no laundry, no cleaning dishes, bathing or flushing! This device is incredibly simple and super effective. I bought combination locks as oppose to key locks making it easier to access the water instead of going into the house for the key, then returning the key after removing the lock.

The product is great. It's easy to install and very sturdy. Angry homeless tried to break it but only broke the spindle inside the lock. However, I had to take it off since they were lashing their anger on my restaurant. I have a broken window and water hose now. This world is so not fair.

Pros- * An American-owned company * 100% OSHA compliant * Encircles and locks the valve handle * Chemical-resistant * Built to withstand industrial environments * Compatible with gas valves, water valves, propane valves, and forklift gas valves * Protects against unintentional gate valve opening * Corrosion-resistant * Accepts 1 padlock with up to 0.275-inch shackle diameter * Non-conductive and high-impact polycarbonate thermoplastic body * Integrated “Danger” warning label * Prevents others from tampering with water faucets Cons- Not guaranteed to fit every exact application . This was the perfect solution for my particular application. I tried some of those other handle lockouts (the one that look like a soda can with cutouts for the handle . Didn’t work. Wouldn’t fit down over the handle and head. In the high desert summer heat, it’s good to know it wont melt while being exposed to direct sunlight. Used my own lock which fit perfectly. The gate valve can withstand temperature of -57 to +177℃. (Minus 70 below Celsius up to 350 Fahrenheit ) this info was confirmed directly by the mfg through e-mail. Highest Recommendation.

I bought these to put over fire sprinkler drain spigots that were left unlocked and available for anyone to turn. They fit as advertised over the spigot and I was able to put a standard lock through the hole to lock out the spigot. It got the job done for what I needed.

These came in a 2-pack, which is great. They easily fasten. The only bad part is that the plastic is pretty flimsy and with Texas heat/sun I question whether they will last for any length of time or will they become brittle and crack. It also would be pretty easy to knock them with a hammer and shatter them and leaving your lock danging on the side. We are living in a construction area with water "borrowed" from neighbors for new house construction, so will have to see how long these last.

Very good.easy to attach

When I looked at the product online it appeared to have a lock that could be used. No lock was supplied. Also the item online appeared to be deeper and would cover the tap completely. it did not. I think I can make it work but the stem of the valve is still assessable and anyone with a set of pliers could still use the tape.
