After set screws have been
secured, insert a ball bearing
slightly larger than the Allen
hole into the screw head
and use punch to hammer
into place. Alternatively,
fill the screw head with a
permanent epoxy material.
This will virtually eliminate
removal attempts.
FDC BRASS ADAPTER RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Theft of items containing materials such as copper and brass are a growing problem for property owners and
firefighters. Knox recommends taking the following steps to ensure the entire FDC assembly is permanently
secured to the pipe thread on the building to reduce risk of theft and vandalism of the housing and pipe.
This procedure involves installing one or more 5/16"-18 Allen set screws and a special permanent adhesive to
secure the FDC Brass adapter to the pipe thread on the building.
NOTE:
To minimize potential of pipe
being stolen, attach a clamp
on the backside of install wall.
Adapter Lip
Pipe Wall
Siamese Brass
Spot Drill Detent
Use Letter F drill bit to drill a
hole entirely through the brass
adapter lip, approximately
1/2" from lip edge. One hole
provides extra security. Three
holes spaced 120° apart will
provide much better security.
Tighten and position FDC
brass adapter on pipe.
Use 1/4" drill bit to spot drill
through the set screw holes
in adapter and into pipe
approximately 1/16" deep.
Do not drill too deep
and pierce pipe.
Clean drill holes of debris
then place a small amount of
remaining Permabond HM162
in hole and on set screws,
then install set screws,
securing firmly with a 5/32"
Allen wrench.
Tap threads in the holes using
a 5/16"-18 thread tap.
Clean pipe threads thoroughly
with solvent and wire brush.
Dry completely. NO grease
or oil can be present on the
pipe threads in order for
adhesive to work properly.
Apply Permabond
®
HM162 to
threads on both the adapter
and pipe. Coating should
be thin and completely
coat the threads.
