Valve/curb key
Reed’s valve & curb keys telescope down and fit well inside today’s smaller utility trucks, behind pickup seats, or in car trunks. The VKA45 is an adjustable valve key for mains with the curb key at a 45-degree angle. This angle provides a visual indication of the valve’s open or closed status. The handle will line up with the pipe with the valve in the open position. The handle crosses (appears perpendicular to) the pipe with the valve in the closed position. Reed’s extensive line of valve keys is made from heavy gauge steel mechanical tubing with select keys according to the needs of your systems.
