Yes we have just recently encountered this situation in Philadelphia. One customer is missing 30+. We have purchased some new female swivels but I'm not optimistic that there is enough standardization for this easy fix in most cases. I suspect that the entire fitting will have to be replaced. Theft might be prevented by epoxy in the set screw recess.

(CSFD) Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 1:07 PM To: AFSA SprinklerFORUM Subject: Missing Couplings on Fire Dept Connections Take a look at the images at the following links. http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g319/justjoeny91/P9190347.jpg http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g319/justjoeny91/P9190348.jpg You will note that although the caps are missing, the female swivel couplings are missing. One of our inspectors found this yesterday. With a rash (at least locally if not nationwide) of copper theft, this finding raises questions about brass theft. This could become a serious issue. I am curious if anyone else has run into this problem in your neck fo the woods and what, if anything, you may have done to remedy it. At this point we are not sure if this is an isolated incident or a city wide problem. Thank you for the assistance.
