Why choose Dixon?
Dixon's stainless steel FDCs blend seamlessly with the glass and steel construction of 3 World Trade Center, an 80-story, LEED-certified Gold office tower that includes a major concentration of retail.
Designed for demanding high use applications
The NFPA requires a minimum fire department connection rating of 175 PSI, however most brass FDCs are currently rated at 300 PSI. The challenge is that at 300 PSI you can only get water to about 50 stories and, in most cases, pumper trucks must assist to achieve this level of pressure. The solution is Dixon Fire’s FM approved, 600 PSI, stainless steel FDC that can provide water up to 90 stories without auxiliary pumping systems.
Manufactured in the USA
Dixon Fire designed and manufactured the high pressure FDC in the USA.
I've been doing business with Dixon for over 25 years. I will always be devoted to Dixon's quality and superior service.
