storz coupling manufacturers

"Storz Coupling Female Ends are frequently used and referred to as fire hose couplings. Due to their resistance to corrosion, acids, and water, they are widely used in many industries, including refineries, agriculture, construction, maritime safety, and military use. Storz couplings, also known as fire hose fittings, are non-shut-off symmetrical couplings. They can be linked by inserting the lug parts into each other and twisting them against each other. These couplings are ideal for working with water and other fluids, but they can also be used as connecting couplings to connect different types of hose."

Storz Coupling Hose Ends have two lugs on the swivel head, which is mounted on the hose fitting and secured with a wire ring, or two lugs on the fixed head, which is screwed onto the threaded connection of the pipework, such as a fire hydrant. STORZ couplings connect quickly because only 1/4 turn is required to join two parts - this is their main advantage. Another important feature of the couplings is their high, unrestricted flow rate, resistance to contamination, and resistance to external damage.

Storz Coupling Male Ends have an identical interlocking head and are also known as fire hose fittings. Storz couplings come with male and female BSP threads, serrated hose tails, and a blank dust cap.

The most common is the Storz Coupling Sealed Cap made of aluminum (cast or forged). Cast couplings have lower material strength and are more susceptible to casting flaws. They are only suitable for low working pressure (up to 6 bar) and less demanding applications. We supply high quality forged couplings with working pressures up to 16 bar as standard, but we also stock less expensive cast couplings.
