Full Description

Work with the latest industry guidelines for standardized couplings and adapters for fire hose connections in the 2009 NFPA 1963.

NFPA 1963: Standard for Fire Hose Connections provides performance requirements for new fire hose couplings and adapters with nominal sizes from 3/4 in. (19 mm) through 8 in. (200 mm) and the specifications for the mating surfaces. Requirements apply to:
  • Coupling assemblies and adapters
  • Screw thread connections
  • Non-threaded connections
  • Gaskets and gasket seats


Keep pace with these changes in the 2009 edition of NFPA 1963:
  • New requirement for marking the country of origin on the surface of the product
  • Non-threaded caps are allowed to have pressure gaskets installed for pressure-only applications.
Together with NFPA® documents that address the fire hose, couplings and connections, and nozzles, NFPA 1963 contributes to a set of standards that are designed to provide consistent requirements for the whole fire hose system.
