Description

NFPA 1963 provides manufacturers with the latest industry guidelines for standardized couplings and adapters for fire hose connections. When it comes to manufacturing fire hoses, connections, coupling and nozzles, every detail counts. Failure of a component can have serious consequences for those at a fire scene. NFPA 1963: Standard for Fire Hose Connections details performance requirements for new fire hose couplings and adapters with nominal sizes from 3/4 in. (19 mm) through 8 in. (200 mm) along with the specifications for the mating surfaces. Requirements apply to: Coupling assemblies and adapters Screw-thread connections Non-threaded connections Fire hose nozzle gaskets and gasket seats Changes to the 2014 edition of NFPA 1963 include: The equations have been brought into conformity with the Manual of Style for NFPA
