Fire-Fighting Hose Fittings
Connect these fittings to fire hydrants and washdown equipment. Made of brass, they have good corrosion resistance. Some have a hex in the middle so you can tighten them with a wrench.
NH/NST (National Hose/National Standard) threads are only compatible with other NH/NST threads. Male NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) threads are compatible with female NPSH threads. Female NPSH threads are compatible with male NPSH, NPT, NPTF, and NPSM threads. BIT (British Instantaneous Thread) threads are commonly used in the United Kingdom, Ireland, India, Hong Kong, and parts of Canada. They’re also known as John Morris couplings.

Rocker-Lug Fire Hydrant Caps and Plugs
The rocker lugs on these caps and plugs allow for easy gripping, so you can quickly close off fire hydrants and washdown equipment. Tighten with a hook-style spanner wrench (sold separately). Caps and plugs are brass for good corrosion resistance.
NH/NST (National Hose/National Standard) threads are only compatible with other NH/NST threads. Chicago Fire Department threads are only compatible with other Chicago Fire Department threads.

Quick-Access Caps for Pin-Lug Fire Hydrants
These caps are the fastest way to access fire hydrants and washdown equipment. To install them, loop the eyebolts over the pin lugs of the hydrant and secure them in place with nuts. In an emergency, break the cap by hitting it or prying it off with a spanner wrench. Caps are aluminum, which is lightweight with good corrosion resistance.

Diverting Valves with Fire-Fighting Hose Fittings
- Valve Type: Ball
- For Use With: Water
- Seal Material: Buna-N Rubber
Control the flow of water in two directions from a single source—these diverting valves have two balls and handles for independent operation of each outlet. They can direct flow to one side outlet at full capacity while shutting off flow to the second side outlet, direct flow to both side outlets at reduced capacity, or shut off flow to both side outlets. Valves have a brass body for good corrosion resistance. They are for use with fire-fighting hose.
Flow coefficient (Cv) is the amount of water (in gallons per minute) at 60° F that will flow through a fully open valve with a difference of 1 psi between the inlet and the outlet.
NH/NST (National Hose/National Standard) threads are only compatible with other NH/NST threads. Male NPSH (National Pipe Straight Hose) threads are compatible with female NPSH threads. Female NPSH threads are compatible with male NPSH, NPT, NPTF, and NPSM threads.

Fire Hydrants
Fight fires in areas around your facility that city-installed hydrants don’t reach. These hydrants are dry-barrel, the most common type of hydrant, which means they drain water when not in use. Not only does this prevent freezing, but it keeps water from spurting out if a vehicle hits these hydrants. And if they get hit, they won’t need much repair—their safety flange and safety stem coupling break without shattering. That means the hydrant comes off cleanly, minimizing damage to the main body and stem. To repair, just replace the flange and coupling using the repair kit (sold separately).
These hydrants must be installed and maintained according to National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standards. If your main line is below 5 ft., attach a stem extension (sold separately). An extension can also raise your hydrant above the ground.
These hydrants are FM approved and meet AWWA C-502 standards for the durability, reliability, and safety of dry-barrel fire hydrants. Connect them to the plain end of a water main line with their mechanical joint connection. The fitting will maintain a tight seal through normal underground movement and temperature changes.
