Fire hydrant coupling type

(Unfortunately, fire hydrant couplings come in a bewildering variety of shapes and sizes.) They have a critical role in assisting firemen to extinguish the fire in an efficient and prompt manner. Longtao wants to make sure that no one is left in the dark as to the different varieties of fire hydrant couplings out there, and how to best pick one that fits their needs. So let’s take a closer look at these couplings — and why they are so important. 

There are primarily two types of fire hydrant couplings: storz couplings and instantaneous couplings. They are uniquely easy to use, which is the intent behind clevis couplings. They have a twist-lock design that allows firefighters to easily attach them to a fire hydrant. That means they can get to work on putting a fire out sooner rather than later. Instantaneous couplings — another fast-acting type — are used by firefighters. These coupling fire fighting mount via push-fit so that they can be pushed over the hydrant to connect. They snap connected quickly, but you have to push harder than you should in some cases.

Selecting the Right Fire Hydrant Coupling for Your Needs

There are multiple considerations to keep in mind when identifying the appropriate fire hydrant coupling. First, consideration of the coupling size. It should be equivalent to size of the fire hydrant you will use. Next some pairs of joints are made from materials. Some materials are tougher and more durable than others. Finally, consider how the fire hose pipe coupling attaches to the hydrant. Be sure this is the correct size for the fire hydrant to avoid an improper fit. This ensures that things run smoothly when it matters most.
