Fire Department Connections (FDCs) are your building's lifeline to fire prevention. When FDCs are left unsecured, they are vulnerable to damage, debris, and vandalism which can constrict the flow of water to fire protection systems such as fire sprinklers and standpipes. Knox FDC Locks protect FDCs by keeping pipes clean of debris. Locks are available in 1.5" and 2.5" configurations and is operated with a Knox Keywrench controlled by the Fire Department.
