ABSTRACT:
An apparatus receiving a valve stem through a central support tube includes a housing extending upwardly relative to a rear distal end of the support tube. The valve stem includes a truncated conical handle mounted at an outer distal end of the valve stem, with a plurality of spring legs mounted adjacent a forward distal end of an exterior surface of the support tube projecting into the handle to frictionally engage an interior surface of the handle retarding rotation thereof preventing children and the like from inadvertent and unauthorized rotation of a hot water handle of a hot water valve minimizing injury. Displacement of the spring fingers relative to the handle is effected by lifting of a lift handle mounted to an upper distal end of the control housing.
