COCKI ™ Anti-Contamination Test Cock Locks

Thank you for your interest in Santoi International Corporation's Cocki ™ Anti-Contamination Backflow Preventer Test Cock Locks. These locks were first marketed over a decade ago. However, the market for backflow prevention assembly test cock locks did not justify the cost of production. Santoi International Corporation is no longer active and Cocki ™ Test Cock Locks are no longer being marketed. This web site provides an informational resource as linked by Drinking Water & Backflow Prevention. A description of the previously marketed product is provided below.

Santoi International's patented Cocki ™ backflow prevention assembly anti-contamination test cock locks are specifically designed mortise locking pipe-plugs that prevent dangerous and unauthorized test cock connections.

Backflow prevention assemblies, be they double check (DC) or reduced pressure zone (RPZ) type, have two shut off valves between which there are two in-line check valves. There are four test cocks that permit testing of the backflow preventer. The test cocks, especially on larger backflow preventers, are often used for unauthorized and potentially dangerous connections. Within seconds a facility could have it's water contaminated due to unprotected test cocks.

Patented Cocki ™ Backflow Preventer Lock sets are designed to lock the opening of the test cocks to prevent unauthorized test cock connections. Furthermore, the numbered cable lock seal prevents closure of the up-stream shut-off valve which helps prevent refitting of the test cocks. Higher security installation by removal of the test cocks is also possible where permitted*.

Each patented Cocki ™ Test Cock Lock set comes with: four electroplated hardened alloy* steel mortise locking pipe-plugs; a tenon key that fits the mortise; and a numbered cable lock-out tag. Cocki ™ Anti-Contamination Backflow Preventer Locks are typically harder than a hammer, saw, chisel or drill. Cocki ™ Locks are quick to install and fit slightly recessed so there are no protruding parts. A "daisy" key fits into the mating Cocki ™ Lock to permit insertion and removal. Cocki ™ Locks are available in 1/2", 3/4" and 1" NPT diameters to fit most medium and larger backflow prevention assemblies. Cocki ™ Anti-Contamination Backflow Prevernter Locks are made in the U.S.A.
