Mechanical Valve Interlocks Guarantee Safety

Netherlocks’ mechanical valve interlocks eliminate human error to ensure that critical valves are locked in the proper position.

Netherlocks’ mechanical valve interlocksNetherlocks’ mechanical valve interlocks eliminate human error to ensure that critical valves are locked in the proper position. Highlights of the valve interlocks include:

  • Standard interlocking products use a padlock and key and provide no information about the current position of the valve, but Netherlocks’ mechanical valve interlocks are operated with two color-coded keys, which, through a trapped key mechanism, control the open and closed position of a valve and communicate its current state.
  • When the green key is released, the valve is locked in the “locked-open” position, and for the red key to be released, the valve must be locked in the “locked-closed” position; if a valve is left in a midway position between open and closed, both keys are trapped in the device — through this system, the current position of the valve is guaranteed.
  • Netherlock's valve interlocks are fully mechanical with no need for electronic wiring, are easily incorporated into new construction, and are ideal for retrofitting older installations to mitigate potential safety issues.
  • The company manufactures a wide range of interlocking devices to fit all types and sizes of valves: all interlocks feature a simple and robust design and all valve interlock components are made from corrosion resistant 316 stainless steel.
