Abstract
A locking mechanism for restricting access to a valve, the locking mechanism including a locking body and a retaining plate. The locking body is configured to be placed on a valve to restrict access to the valve. The retaining plate is configured to be selectively secured to the locking body via a lock to secure the locking body to the valve. The retaining plate is fixedly movable relative to the locking body so that the locking mechanism may be adjusted to fit valves of varying sizes.
