The Claw is designed to help prevent quick-coupler accidents on sports fields and large commercial sites, including parks and other public areas. Quick couplers often become unthreaded from swing joints during hand watering and cause a high-pressure “geyser” of water that not only floods the turf but also can cause serious injury to maintenance crews. To prevent this hazard, the Claw acts like an anchor, holding the quick coupler securely in place and restraining rotational, vertical and horizontal motion. The unit fits most valve boxes without any cutting or alterations; it attaches directly to the base of the quick-coupler valve with a hexagonal receptacle and single stainless steel bolt. Available in two models, the Claw is constructed from one-piece ductile iron.
