1. Why do you want to lock the valve.
2. Remember this is a hazardous (explosive) gas. If you are “locking” the valve as part of an energy isolation program to perform maintenance and the valve is part of that lockout boundary your lockout/tag out energy control procedure must be followed.
3. If you do not have a stored energy control lockout/tag out program you must develop and implement one.
