Gun Metal Fire Hydrant Adapter

                             Hydrant adapters or fire hose are essentially the fittings that help to connect fire hoses to nozzles in a secure manner. These adapters are available in different sizes. They can also be connected to hydrants, fire trucks and various other water sources. They connect to the threads on fire hydrants and other available equipment. This helps in facilitating a connection.

How to use a Hydrant Adapter?

Thread type determines which hose and equipment can connect. Male ends connect only to the female ends of the same size. Hydrant adapters have threaded ends. They vary in angle, space and diameter. If you try to mix these angles, you can witness leakage from the fittings or under pressure fly off. This can be highly hazardous to the fire-fighters and the people they are protecting. NST (National Standard Thread) is the most commonly accepted and widely used thread.
