Don't Get Locked Out! Locking Port Cap Quick Tip!


Just because your company only uses one type of port cap doesn’t mean you won’t be called to service a system with another manufacturer’s locking port cap.

C&D Valve CD3830 Universal Locking Cap Removal Tool with 3 Bits

Be Prepared! A Locking Cap Multi-Key can save you a ton of time and frustration. Trust me, if you don’t have the key, you won’t be very happy! More importantly, you don't want to be the tech who is trying to cut a locking cap off with a Sawzall or some other method. I have heard some odd and concerning methods to get access to those ports. I just want everyone to be prepared before they arrive onsite to a service call and to be as professional and efficient as possible.


Code Reference for Locking Access Port Caps

International Mechanical Code (IMC) 1101.10
