Lockout valves are installed in pneumatic drop legs, or individual pneumatic control lines. In accordance with OSHA procedures, lockout valves are used during maintenance and service procedures of pneumatically (air) operated equipment. Prior to servicing, the red handle is pressed inward, blocking pressure and relieving all downstream air pressure. A padlock is installed through the locking hasp, Preventing accidental actuation during the maintenance procedure. Following maintenance, the padlock is removed and the red handle is pulled outward, returning air pressure to the system.
