Lab-Locks™ Laboratory Ball Valve Lockout Device

The Lab-Locks™ Laboratory Ball Valve Lockout Device is a revolutionary patent-pending device developed by Safety Emporium and Zing Green Safety Products and is the first and only product on the market that can effectively lock out standard laboratory ball valve fixtures such as WaterSaver Faucet Company's L4100 and L4200 product line. Key features include:

• Prevents accidental and malicious activation of 1/4 turn ball valve fixtures by firmly locking the lever handle in the 90° off position.
• Works on all services such as natural gas, vacuum, water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, etc. regardless of pressure.
• Works on all fixtures mounted in any orientation: deck (turret-mounted), wall/panel-mounted, undermount etc.
• The simple clamshell design installs and removes in seconds without tools.
• The device works on multi-service fixtures with 1, 2, 3, and 4 outlets such as the L4200-134WSA without crowding or interference (purchase as many devices as you have valves on the fixture).
• The design does not interfere with the hose barb or outlet connected to the valve. No disassembly of your apparatus is required.
• The universal design locks valves out to the right or left side.
• Designed and manufactured in the USA by safety professionals with years of lockout and laboratory expertise.
• Locks with a padlock or cable lockout device (sold separately) for lockout operations or use a heavy-duty tag tie for tagout applications.
• Constructed of tough PETG plastic which will never corrode nor react with or scratch the fixture finish. The device has a 1" (2.54 cm) center hole and accepts padlocks with up to a 5/16" (7.95 mm) diameter shackle.

With the Lab-Locks™ Laboratory Ball Valve Lockout Device installed, you don't have to worry about someone throwing a box on the bench and accidentally opening a valve that can release flammable, toxic, or asphyxiating gases into the laboratory or classroom. You don't need to worry that bored students might idly open a water or natural gas outlet. And they find great use for traditional lockout/tagout type applications so if you want to say, prevent someone from using the house vacuum - lock it out.

If you want to lock out multiple fixtures using the same key, order our Zing RecycLock™ Safety Padlocks (item # 07023) and select the Keyed Alike option. The padlocks are available in a variety of colors so you can also coordinate them to the type of service you're locking out or a particular lab location.

TIP: Want to lock out a multi-valve fixture or fixtures close to each other? Use our combination cable and padlock lockout device (item # 07134) instead of individual padlocks.

This item is also available as a kit (item # 07401) that includes a padlock, two tags, two ties, a storage pouch, and one Lab-Locks™ Laboratory Ball Valve Lockout Device.  

Padlocks (item # 07023) and tags (item # 07285) are sold separately.
