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.
