  • Publication number: 20070289637
    Abstract: A system for restricting access to wellhead handwheel-actuated valves is provided. Two or more handwheels at a wellhead may be secured by engaging each handwheel with an engagement member and locking the engagement members together such that the handwheels may not be rotated. Each handwheel may be engaged in a manner that will also prevent unauthorized removal of each handwheel. The system provides versatility in that handwheels may be secured over a distance by use of a distance adjustment member, which is independently locked to each engagement member. A method for locking handwheel-actuated valves and related kit is also described.
