ABUS V426 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What size padlock shackle fits the ABUS V426 valve lockout?
The V426 takes a padlock with a shackle diameter up to 9/32 inch. Anything thicker will not pass through the locking holes, so check the shackle on your LOTO padlocks before standardizing on this device.
2) Will the ABUS V426 fit my ball valve handle?
The V426 is the large size in the ABUS V423-V426 ball valve lockout range and measures 4-59/64 inches wide. It clamps over the cranked flat steel hand lever of a ball valve and holds it in the off position. If your valve handle is smaller than the V426 will close around, the smaller size in the same family is the one to order.
3) Can I move the padlock position on the ABUS V426 to get it on a tight pipe run?
Yes. The V426 has multiple locking holes along the body so you can pick the hole that lines up best with the handle, which matters on congested or hard-to-reach pipe runs where there's only one angle to get a padlock in. Picking the right hole also keeps the device from rocking on the lever.
4) Is the ABUS V426 valve lockout metal or plastic?
Steel, powder coated in red. That matters in plant and mechanical room duty where a plastic lockout can crack or be pried, and the coating is what keeps it from rusting on a wet or outdoor pipe run.
5) Does a ball valve lockout come with a padlock?
No padlock is included with the V426. It's the mechanical device that traps the valve lever; you supply the LOTO padlock, and it needs a shackle of 9/32 inch or less to pass through the holes. Most facilities keyed-different or keyed-alike their lockout padlocks separately anyway.
6) Is the ABUS V426 suitable for commercial and industrial facility lockout programs?
It's built for commercial duty, and it's the type of device MRO and maintenance teams standardize on for isolating ball valves during service work. Steel body, multiple lock points, one size covering the larger common lever valves, so a facility can carry two SKUs across most of its ball valve population.
