Abstract:
This invention provides a low-cost, life-saving, scalding protection against an unwanted change, in the temperature control knob on a hot-water heater. It is simple to install and operate, so as to invite apartment owners and operators to readily install this scald-prevention apparatus. It does not wear-out over time nor does it require maintenance. It is a box-like structure, with a hinged cover and a hinged closing hasp, fitting over a staple, allowing the apparatus to be pad-locked. It has a “bottom” cutout fitting over the hot-water heater temperature control knob, and is attached with ordinary screws, the heads of which are enclosed by the protective shell.
