FAQ

What thread types does this fitting accommodate?

This fitting features 1-1/2 inch NPT (National Pipe Taper) threads on one end and 1-1/2 inch NST (National Standard Thread) threads on the other, specifically designed for fire hose connections and compatible piping systems.

Is this fitting suitable for outdoor fire hydrant use?

Yes, the brass construction provides excellent corrosion resistance, making it ideal for outdoor fire hydrant applications and other environments where moisture and weather exposure are concerns.

What wrench size should I use for installation?

The hexagonal design accommodates standard wrenches appropriate for 1-1/2 inch fittings. We recommend using a properly sized wrench that fully engages the hexagonal surfaces to prevent rounding during tightening.

Does this require any special seals or thread tape?

For optimal performance, we recommend using appropriate thread sealant or Teflon tape on the NPT threads to ensure a leak-free connection, while NST connections typically don’t require additional sealing.

What is the weight capacity of this fitting?

This brass fitting is designed to handle standard pressure ratings for fire hose applications. The solid brass construction provides strength sufficient for typical firefighting system requirements up to standard working pressures.
