A locking assembly for locking a multi-sided nut-like member in a desired communicating relationship with a valve body. The locking assembly includes a lock plate having a planar body portion with a locking opening defined by a plurality of sides oriented relative to each other in a closed, star-like configuration. The locking opening is adapted to be closely received over and communicate with the sides of an associated nut-like member. The body portion also includes an arcuate mounting slot spaced from the locking opening and which is adapted to receive a lock plate mounting fastener therethrough. A continuous side wall or skirt portion depends from the periphery of the body portion and serves to space the body portion from the surface of an associated valve body. Preferably, a lock plate adapter is also provided. The adapter includes a body member having a through opening which is received over a section of the associated nut-like member, and a securing member cooperable with the lock plate mounting slot. The lock plate adapter also includes a mounting portion adapted for disposition in contacting relation with the associated valve body.
