Description
The 5" Knox Storz Lock® is operated with a Knox FDC Wrench controlled by the Fire Department. To ensure the Knox Storz Lock® properly fits, the Knox Company strongly encourages the use of connections that meet the adapter specifications. The Knox Storz Lock® protects large diameter Fire Department connections (FDC) from accidental damage, vandalism and physical attack. Since the locking cap holds water pressure, it can be installed on hydrants. The Knox Storz Lock® has been designed for ease-of-use when installing or removing the cap from a connection. The locking cap can be quickly installed or removed with a Knox FDC Wrench and a standard spanner.
