• a manually-operated turnkey-type tumbler lock means;
• a housing disposed in the selective fluid line having an inlet port secured to an upstream fluid line in communication with a fluid reservoir, an outlet port secured to a downstream fluid line, said outlet port and said inlet port in alignment, said housing having a removable face plate, said housing having disposed therein a channeled guide having a biased mounted slide valve disposed therein, said slide valve having an aperture therethrough for selective alignment with said inlet port and said outlet port of said housing for the passage of fluid therethrough;
• a communication means comprising a conduit in communication with said turnkey-type tumbler lock means and said housing, said communication means having positioned therein, a plurality of spherical bearings in communication with each other, said conduit having a pin positioned at a housing end, said pin and said spherical bearings movably engaged through the action of said turnkey-type tumbler lock means and said biased mount for said slide valve to selectively align and disalign said aperture in said slide valve with said inlet port and said outlet port for selectively opening and closing said slide valve to permit the passage of fluid therethrough;
• an anti-tamper lock mechanism disposed in said housing, said anti-tamper lock mechanism comprising a biased mounted locking arm, biasly mounted to an inside of said housing and frictionally engaged with a face of said slide valve, said locking arm in alignment with vertically aligned indents in said face of said slide valve, said indents disposed laterally from said aperture in said slide valve.
