Panduit PSL-BV2 Ball Valve Lockout Device

Product Description

The PANDUIT PSL-BV2 is a ball valve lockout device designed to prevent unauthorized or accidental operation of ball valves during maintenance, repair, and lockout/tagout (LOTO) procedures. The device physically blocks valve operation by securing the handle in the closed or open position, supporting OSHA-required energy isolation practices. It is used by licensed electricians, plumbers, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, and maintenance personnel working on systems where valve control must be locked out before service begins. Sold individually, this is a single-unit component intended for professional trade and industrial applications.

The PSL-BV2 is suited for use in commercial and industrial settings where lockout/tagout compliance is required. Typical applications include securing ball valves on gas lines, water supply systems, compressed air lines, and hydronic systems during planned maintenance or emergency shutdowns. It is compatible with standard ball valve handle configurations and is used wherever OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147 energy control procedures are enforced.

Key Features

• Physically locks ball valve handle to prevent unintended valve actuation
• Supports OSHA lockout/tagout compliance requirements
• Sold as a single unit for individual valve coverage
• Designed for use across multiple industries including HVAC, plumbing, and industrial piping

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style lockout device for standard ball valve handles in commercial and industrial piping and HVAC system applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified tradesperson following the site-specific energy control program in compliance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.147. Before applying the lockout device, ensure the valve is in the correct isolated position and all downstream energy has been relieved. The device should be used in conjunction with a padlock and lockout/tagout tag as part of a complete LOTO procedure. Do not use this device as a substitute for a full energy isolation program.
