Stainless steel padlock
Castell Iso-Lok introduces what it believes to be the world's first 100% stainless steel padlock.
The V-Safe valve covers are made of an extremely tough and durable plastic which has excellent dielectric properties, will not crack and is resistant to solvents and extreme temperature changes.
The valve covers come in four bright colours: red, yellow, green and blue.
Available in five sizes, they fit valve wheels from 70 to 355mm in diameter.
The valve covers consist of two hinged half-moons which completely enclose a valve handwheel, ensuring that essential valve operations can only be carried out by authorised personnel, and that potentially hazardous maintenance can be performed safely.
All but the two smallest sizes have a multiple-hole padlocking facility.
When used as a maintenance lockout up to three padlocks can be fitted at one time and valve operation can only be restored once all personnel have completed their work and removed their padlocks.
If more padlocks are required to be fitted then a Castell Iso-Lok Multi-Clasp can be used.
