Hose Coupling
Storz Coupling
The Storz coupling is the symmetrical quick connect the fire service uses to join hose and equipment fast and securely.
Product Overview
What This Hose Is Built To Do
The Storz coupling is the symmetrical quick connect the fire service uses to join hose and equipment fast and securely. Because both halves are identical there is no male or female to sort out under pressure. Ours are made to DIN14301 and DIN14303 in aluminium, brass or stainless steel, cast or forged, in 1 to 8 inch (DN25 to DN200).
Key Benefits
- Symmetrical design means any two couplings connect, with no male and female to match
- Made to DIN14301 and DIN14303 for interoperability with standard fire equipment
- Three material options covering general fire service through to corrosive environments
- Anodised surface on the aluminium version for outdoor storage life
