ABS Plastic Butterfly Valve Lock

Date: 2025.04.08   Views: 39

I. Product Overview

The ABS Plastic Butterfly Valve Lock is a safety locking device specifically designed for industrial pipelines and civil facilities. Constructed from high-strength ABS engineering plastic, it is primarily used to secure the operating handle or stem of butterfly valves, preventing unauthorized opening or closing. Its lightweight design, corrosion resistance, and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal choice for applications such as water treatment, food processing, and low-pressure fluid control—especially suited for humid, weakly corrosive environments and budget-conscious users.

II. Core Advantages

  1. Lightweight & Durable
    Made of engineering plastic, it weighs only 1/3 of metal locks, ensuring easy portability and installation. It offers excellent resistance to impact, abrasion, and corrosion, guaranteeing a long service life.
  2. Corrosion & Rust Resistant
    The plastic material is naturally impervious to water, weak acids/alkalis, and salt spray, making it suitable for humid environments (e.g., water treatment plants, food processing workshops) or scenarios with mild chemical contact.
  3. Insulated Safety
    Its non-conductive properties eliminate the risk of electric shock, making it ideal for power facilities, pump stations, and other locations requiring insulation protection.
  4. Cost-Effective
    Significantly more affordable than metal locks, it offers high cost-performance, making it suitable for large-scale purchases or users with budget constraints.
  5. Strong Adaptability
    The universal design fits butterfly valve handles ranging from 8–45mm in width. The adjustable latch ensures a secure fit for different valve brands by adapting to handle thickness.

III. Product Structure & Design

  • Lock Body: One-piece injection-molded construction with a smooth, burr-free surface and internal reinforcing ribs for enhanced structural strength.
  • Latch/Pin: An adjustable plastic latch secures the valve handle via a locking mechanism, compatible with various handle sizes.
  • Label Area: Some models feature a tag slot for marking warning labels such as "Do Not Operate" or "Under Maintenance."

IV. Application Scenarios

  1. Civil & Public Facilities
    • Building water supply/HVAC systems
    • Pool circulation valves
    • Agricultural irrigation pipelines
  2. Light Industry
    • Food and beverage production lines (prevents misoperation of flavoring agents/cleaning agents)
    • Low-pressure chemical storage tank valves
  3. Equipment Maintenance Management
    • Temporarily locks valve status during pipeline repair or system debugging
    • Used in conjunction with LOTO (Lockout/Tagout) procedures

VI. Usage & Maintenance Guide

Installation Steps:

 

  1. Adjust the butterfly valve to the target state (fully open/closed).
  2. Insert the lock handle into the valve handle and adjust it forward/backward until secure and free of looseness.
  3. Insert a padlock into the lock hole to secure it, ensuring the latch tongue fully engages the slot.
