SS padlocks and SS valve covers lock cleanly
For use in hostile and corrosive conditions, or for food processing and other clean room environments, durable SS padlocks and SS valve covers provide additional security.
The clasp can be used to safely lock machine controls, electrical isolators and circuit breakers and, with a Lockout bag or Lock-a-Plug, to enclose all types of plug, preventing reconnection.
The thick, plastic coating provides an extra layer of protection for personnel involved in operation or maintenance.
The clasp itself is a familiar scissor design incorporating 6 padlock holes.
Hole diameter is 8mm, to accommodate padlocks with larger shackle diameters.
The Multi-clasp is simply attached to the relevant anchor point and each operative inserts their own personalised padlock into the clasp.
Access can only be restored once all padlocks are removed, preventing the inadvertent or unauthorised use of hazardous equipment and electrical installations.
