ABUS V303–V313 Gate Valve Lockout | Lockout Tagout Valve Isolation Device

Secure Gate Valves During Maintenance with Professional Lockout Tagout Protection

The ABUS V303–V313 Gate Valve Lockout range provides a reliable and highly visible solution for securing gate valves during maintenance, repair, servicing, and shutdown procedures. Designed to completely enclose valve hand wheels, these lockout devices prevent unauthorised operation and help ensure compliance with lockout tagout (LOTO) safety procedures. The ABUS gate valve lockouts are available in five sizes, covering valve diameters from 1" to 13", making them suitable for virtually all common industrial gate valves.

Manufactured from durable, non-conductive polypropylene, the V303–V313 series is built to withstand demanding industrial environments while providing long-lasting protection against accidental valve operation. Once installed and secured with a safety padlock, the device clearly signals that the valve must not be operated, helping reduce the risk of workplace accidents and hazardous energy release.

Key Features

Complete Gate Valve Isolation

The ABUS V303–V313 lockout devices fully enclose the valve hand wheel, preventing access and eliminating the possibility of accidental operation during maintenance activities.

Covers Valve Sizes from 1" to 13"

With five available sizes, the V303–V313 range accommodates most standard gate valves found in industrial facilities, manufacturing plants, utilities, and processing environments.

Durable Non-Conductive Construction

Manufactured from high-quality polypropylene, these gate valve lockouts are corrosion-resistant, impact-resistant, and non-conductive, making them ideal for electrical and industrial safety applications.

Compatible with Safety Padlocks

Each device accommodates one lockout padlock with a shackle diameter of up to 9 mm, allowing authorised personnel to maintain control over the isolation point.

Suitable for Rising Stem Valves

Models V305 through V313 include a unique breakaway centre section that accommodates OS&Y (Outside Screw and Yoke) or rising stem gate valves, providing greater flexibility across different valve types.

High-Visibility Safety Design

The bright red colour provides an immediate visual warning that the valve has been isolated and must not be operated. Multilingual warning labels are included for enhanced workplace communication.

Why Use a Gate Valve Lockout?

Gate valves often control critical process systems, water supplies, steam lines, compressed air systems, and hazardous energy sources. During maintenance, accidental valve operation can lead to equipment damage, process disruption, injury, or worse.

A gate valve lockout physically prevents access to the valve hand wheel and ensures that only authorised personnel can remove the lockout device. This helps organisations comply with lockout tagout procedures and maintain a safer working environment.

Available Sizes

Suitable for a wide range of industrial gate valve applications.
