This item is not stocked: allow 10 to 13 days for delivery.

This mini all-purpose cable lockout easily isolates several energy sources with a single cable loop. Its compact, handle-free profile fits into tight spaces, and its ABS housing with a textured finish offers a good grip. One person can apply it: the high-strength pivoting arm cinches the cable and holds it under tension without slipping. The cable is not included: plan for a lockout cable and a padlock with a shackle no larger than 0.354 in (9 mm) in diameter. We offer two 8 ft Brady lockout cables, sold separately: the Brady 170408 lockout wire (CACC170408) in grey PVC-coated steel and the Brady 170409 lockout cord (CACC170409) in non-conductive red nylon.

The device accepts a maximum of four padlocks. Installing it does not replace the isolation, stored-energy control and verification required by the procedure. Select the cable, isolation device and padlocks under the manufacturer’s instructions.

Design of the mini cable lockout

• Compact, handle-free profile for tight spaces.
• Locks several isolation points at once: tricky valve handles and complex panels.
• Highly durable ABS housing with a non-slip textured finish.
• One-person application: the pivoting arm holds the cable under tension without slipping.
• Padlock shackle up to 0.354 in (9 mm) in diameter; cable not included, sold individually.

Applications of the mini cable lockout

The Brady 179482 is intended for electricians, mechanics and pipefitters who need to lock several points at the same time: side-by-side gate valve handles, breakers on a panel, grouped levers or controls. Its small size makes it handy in cabinets and cramped spaces. Each worker applies his or her own padlock to it, then a lockout tag. Follow the facility's written lockout program.

Installing and inspecting the mini cable lockout

Shut down the equipment and isolate the energy sources according to your written procedure. Thread the cable through each point to be locked, insert it into the device, pull it tight and close the pivoting arm that holds it. Then apply your padlock and your lockout tag. Clean the housing as needed and take out of service a device that is cracked or whose arm no longer holds the cable.
