Knox makes a Knox Cap for FDC's too $$$ but when its mandated, it is what it is.

It locks over the FDC couplings instead of inside like the Knox-Box device. I'm not recommending anything...I don't work for Potter Roemer, but does look interesting. rick matsuda, city of dallas -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Smith, Steven D. (CSFD) Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2007 12:07 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.
