Abstract
The showerhead security cover prevents unauthorized access to a connector of a shower assembly. The connector secures the showerhead to the shower arm, the connector, showerhead, and shower arm being standard without any modification required. The showerhead security cover comprises a housing and a lock. The lock is integral with the housing. Once the lock is engaged, the housing encases the connector and prevents access to the connector. Once the lock is engaged, there is no substantial rotational movement of the connector relative to the shower arm. One end wall of the housing seats against an end of the connector during engagement preventing any substantial axial movement of the connector relative to the connector. The housing is strong enough to prevent engagement with the connector even when the housing is grasped with pliers. Disengagement is enabled by the use of a special tool to allow authorized access to the connector.
