ABSTRACT:
A faucet hose anti-tangling guard for a shut-off valve is a molded plastic shield that has a prolate shape, divided across a short axis into two portions. The rear portion attaches over a water shut-off valve assembly using two plastic brackets assembled with screws. The front portion is positioned over the valve handle. A recessed aperture in the front portion provides access to the valve handle without removing the invention. A foam gasket prevents the shield from slipping. With the guard in proper position, the faucet hose cannot wrap around the water shut-off valve while the hose is being drawn from its housing for use. The guard also eliminates the possibility of the hose turning the shut-off valve.
