ABSTRACT:
A plate, having a centrally located, tapped hole, which extends only about half-way into the plate, seats a fluid seal therein. The tapped hole threadedly engages the externally-threaded nozzle of a faucet to close off the faucet. The plate further has a plurality of further, throughgoing holes formed therein, spaced apart forty-five degrees of arc, about a common radius from the radial center of the tapped hole. A shackle of a padlock is passed through a given one of the plurality of throughgoing holes, which is (a) closest to the bonnet, stem and handle of the faucet, and (b) would be the first to pass under the faucet, if the plate were to be unscrewed therefrom, and the shackle is locked into the body of the padlock. The padlock is so positioned that it will impact with the faucet, if the plate is turned, to prevent withdrawal of the plate from the faucet.
