HI Anonymous,

A company called Dixon, The Right Connection, makes high pressure FDCs. I personally have never called for one to be used but I know they are installed down in NYC on a few of the skyscrapers.

Best of luck with your design,
Alex

Croker has at least one free standing fdc at 600 psi, it's a 6x3x3 connection though.

Is Dixon still manufacturing these FDCs? I've heard that the model was discontinued.

HI Christopher,

I personally have not specified these valves myself. I have found the following part number online that looks to still be manufactured. Sorry I can’t help further.

Part Number: 90CREV6030SSPAT

Thanks,
Alex
