PHOENIX – Knox®, the leading developer of commercial rapid entry systems specifically designed for fire departments, today announced the availability of its new Knox FDC Spanner Wrench, a durable multipurpose tool that combines several traditional firefighter tools into one pocket-sized tool that fits in turnout gear.
The Knox FDC Spanner Wrench is equipped with the same key firefighters use to quickly unlock and lock the Knox FDC, Standpipe and Storz Locks. In addition, the Knox FDC Spanner Wrench can be used to pry open doors and windows, open and close gas valves, and more.
“We are thrilled to introduce a device that reduces the number of hand tools firefighters have to carry. With the FDC Spanner Wrench, fire departments can unlock and dismantle a locking FDC cap faster and more efficiently,” said Joni Trempala, president of Knox Company.
The Knox FDC Spanner Wrench is available for order by contacting Knox at 800-552-5669.
Knox, which provides a variety of solutions for over 14,000 departments and governmental agencies throughout the U.S., manufactures locking FDC caps to protect fire department connections from getting clogged or vandalized, ensuring quick access to supplement fire sprinklers in an emergency. The universal key held by the fire department allows for rapid access to FDCs, while lowering maintenance costs to owners caused by unnecessary back flushing from debris.
