A protective device for a gas cylinder valve body is provided comprising a multi-sided body capable of being positioned about the sides of a four-sided gas cylinder valve body, the body comprised of at least two segments hinged with respect to each other, and which when the segments are pivoted toward each other form a four-sided body corresponding in configuration to a corresponding portion of the four sides of the valve body. At least one of the segments has at least two sides oriented at a right angle and fixed to each other. One of the sides of one of the segments has at least one projection on an interior surface thereof configured to engage at least a portion of an opposing surface of the valve body. Free ends of adjacent segments are capable of being connected to each other to maintain the device in position about the valve body, and the device includes at least one tear strip whereby the protective device may be removed by tearing the tear strip. |
