Knox SecureCap Protects Connections

The Knox Company has developed a new locking cap that works on a variety of discharge connections such as standpipes, test headers and wall hydrants.

The easy-on, easy-off locking cap is built to last, according to the maker. It provides protection against thread damage and prevents trash and debris from being lodged into uncovered connections.

The Knox SecureCap is designed for a 2.5-inch connection with NH threads, however other threads are available.

The same Knox Keywrench used to secure the Knox FDC plug and StorzLok also operates the new cap. The Knox Keywrench is controlled by the fire department.

The SecureCap joins the Knox FDC locking plug and StorzLok to provide both the intake and discharge sides of water-based fire protection systems with the protection to prevent debris and vandalism that could compromise the system.
