FDC Protection

Fire Department Connections (FDCs) are the access points for firefighters to supplement additional water to a building's
fire sprinkler system during a fire. Protect these vital protection systems with Knox locking FDC caps: FDC Locks and Storz Locks.

SECURE FIRE DEPARTMENT CONNECTIONS WITH KNOX FDC LOCKING CAPS

Compromised FDCs hinder response operations and increase potential risks to a structure’s occupants and firefighters. Working systems reduce heat, flames, and smoke while giving occupants valuable time to safely evacuate and minimize property damage. When systems fail during a fire outcomes can be devastating.

LOCKED FDCs KEEP SYSTEM OPERABLE

Uncapped FDCs jeopardize their performance during critical response operations.

FDC Locking Caps protect the connection and keep the system operable when needed by firefighters.

Fire department connections (FDC) are the access points where firefighters get supplemental water. Locking caps provide a strong and steady flow of water.
