Abstract

A remotely monitorable selectably removable lock assembly for a fluid valve assembly of a bottled gas canister or other fluid valve assembly, the remotely monitorable, selectably removable, lock assembly including a lockable cover assembly configured for lockable engagement with a fluid valve assembly, a remote monitoring unit fixedly mounted to a locking shaft, arranged for lockable engagement with the lockable cover assembly when the lockable cover assembly is in a closed operative orientation, preventing unauthorized access to the fluid valve assembly and a locking unit which is operative for locking engagement with the locking shaft for retaining the cover assembly in the closed operative orientation, the remote monitoring unit having wireless communication functionality enabling it to communicate with a remote monitoring station for providing monitorable indications both of tampering and of authorized unlocking of the locking unit from the locking shaft.
