ABSTRACT:
An auxiliary shut-off device for stopping the flow of water into a toilet tank, wherein the toilet tank includes a float valve assembly having a float valve which rises within the toilet tank to control the flow of water into the toilet tank. The assembly includes a lever adapted to be pivotally secured to the toilet tank and a control arm having a proximal end secured to the lever and a distal end adapted to engaging the float valve assembly. The assembly is adapted to be mounted within the toilet tank such that rotation of the lever arm causes the float valve assembly to rotate to a stop position and stop the flow of water into the toilet tank.
