Universal curb valve cradle with improved alignment retention
A curb valve cradle for maintaining operable access to the operating nut of a curb valve with a valve key wrench tool. The cradle has a pair of spaced-apart upstanding arms connected together by a base. Each arm has multiple stop ridges arranged in a vertical series along opposite interfacing surfaces of the arms. A retaining ring with a central opening is matingly slidable between and along the upstanding arms. The retaining ring has a peripheral latch flange protruding radially outward and engageable with the stop ridges. The latch flange and stop ridges are configured to permit the ring to be slid downward between the upstanding arms from the top free ends of the arms and pass the stop ridges and to resist or prevent the ring from being slid upward past the stop ridges.
