Hose Coupling
Multilug Coupling
The multilug coupling is a large bore aluminium coupling made in 6 to 12 inch (DN150 to DN300), used across firefighting, oil and gas, agriculture and industry.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
The multilug coupling is a large bore aluminium coupling made in 6 to 12 inch (DN150 to DN300), used across firefighting, oil and gas, agriculture and industry. Multiple lugs spread the clamping load around the hose instead of concentrating it, which is what keeps a large diameter joint sealed under pressure. It is cast or forged and anodised.
Key Benefits
- Multiple lugs distribute clamp load around a large bore so the seal stays even
- Anodised aluminium for corrosion resistance across water, fuel and agricultural duty
- 6 to 12 inch range matches our large bore layflat and discharge hose
- Straightforward to operate without special tools

Manufacturing and Quality
How It Is Made and Checked
Casting or forging. Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard.
- All raw materials approved by the Department of Quality Control
- Yarn strength and skein consistency verified before weaving
- Every manufacturing process complies with the ISO 9001 standard
- All hoses tested at the test pressure
- Layflat hose held at 1.5 times working pressure for 2 hours before shipment
- Trace number recorded for production date, employees and raw material sources
Customization Options
- Colour made to order alongside the standard range
- OEM and ODM printing of your brand, with exclusive protection of your designs
- Length cut to the run you specify rather than a fixed stock length
- Couplings fitted before shipment and pressure tested as one assembly
Use Guide
- Tighten lugs evenly in sequence rather than one at a time
- Check the hose is fully seated before final tightening
- Inspect the anodising where lugs bear on the body
- Keep sealing faces clean
- Re-check lug tightness after the first pressurisation
