The Reece Safety BS11 Pneumatic Lockout is a practical, cost-conscious solution for isolating pneumatic energy without installing in-line lockout valves. This device attaches to the male fitting, effectively isolating equipment from all connected compressed air sources. It is designed to accommodate a wide range of common male fittings, including 6.35 mm (1/4"), 9.52 mm (3/8"), and 12.7 mm (1/2"), making it versatile for many maintenance environments. The design includes a central cavity that provides storage space for the air hose center, helping keep lines organized during lockout operations. It is intended for use with 38 mm brass-bodied padlocks that have 6.3 mm diameter shackles, enabling a secure, lockable shutdown.
In practice, the BS11 offers a straightforward mechanical lockout approach for quick shutdowns on pneumatic systems. Since it locks out the male fitting rather than integrating into the plumbing, it avoids the costs and complexity associated with inline valve lockout modifications. This can streamline compliance workflows in facilities where temporary de-energization of pneumatic equipment is needed for maintenance or safety procedures. When considering maintenance and storage, users should ensure the lockout lock and shackle dimensions are compatible with the device’s central storage feature and padlock compatibility.
Overall, the BS11 fits facilities that require a simple, reusable pneumatics lockout option for a range of standard male fittings. Package is listed as each unit, aligning with typical field use where individual lockouts are applied per line or per piece of equipment. For ordering or assistance, contact The Safety Source to confirm fit with your specific fittings and padlock combination.
