Abstract
The present disclosure relates to valve lockout systems, including valve lockout systems for use with an actuator and butterfly valves. The lockout system allows controlled access to operation of the valve, either to prevent intentional or unintentional operation of the valve. Thus, the lockout system prevents the unauthorized opening or closing of the valve. The lockout system includes a lockout plate in which a lockout bar is positioned. The lockout bar includes a surface containing a recess. Depending upon the location of the recess the valve shaft can be opened or closed.
