Highfield Manufacturing Company
Highfield, which produces security systems for utilities, OEM and niche market applications, reports it is helping gas-utility customers reduce tampering and vandalism of wing-style gas service valves, found in residential and commercial environments. The company offers a re-designed Cast Lock Wing Protector that is manufactured from a cast-hardened steel alloy, making it stronger and more durable than competitive sheet metal products. Highfield’s Cast Lock Wing Protector features one-piece construction for fast installation. Its hooded design completely covers and protects valve stems, eliminating “peeling” attempts. It can be secured to the wing valve with a standard length utility barrel lock, also available from Highfield. 203-384-2281, sales@highfield-mfg.com, www.highfield-mfg.com.
