ABUS V423 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What kind of valve does the ABUS V423 lockout fit?
The V423 is built for ball valves with a cranked flat steel hand lever. It clamps over the lever and holds it in the off position so the valve cannot be opened while work is underway. It will not work on gate valves, butterfly handles, or round handwheels, those need a different style of lockout.
2) Does a padlock come with the ABUS V423 lockout?
No. The V423 is the steel lockout body only. You supply the safety padlock, and it has to have a shackle of 9/32 inch or less to pass through the lock holes. For a group lockout, plan on a hasp as well if more than one person needs to apply a lock.
3) Why does the ABUS V423 have several lock holes instead of one?
The row of holes lets you position the padlock at the point that sits tight against the lever, so there is no slack for someone to work the valve. On an awkward run of pipe you can pick the hole that leaves the lock accessible. It also means one device covers a range of lever positions rather than one exact fit.
4) Can I use the ABUS V423 on valves in tight or hard-to-reach pipe runs?
That is where this style works best. Because it is a flat steel plate that drops over the lever rather than a bulky cage enclosing the whole valve, it fits pipe runs with little clearance around them. Pick the lock hole that leaves the padlock reachable from where you can actually get a hand in.
5) Will an ABUS valve lockout hold up in a wet or industrial plant room?
The body is powder-coated steel, so it handles plant-room duty and repeated handling better than a plastic clamshell lockout. ABUS lists it as a commercial-duty device. The red powder coat also makes an isolated valve easy to spot on a walk-through.
