What is it?

These caps are protective covers designed to fit over the ends of fire hoses and hydrants. They help maintain the integrity of the equipment by keeping out dirt, debris, and other contaminants.

How is it used?

The caps are screwed onto the ends of hoses or hydrants using the NH thread. The rocker lug design allows for a secure grip, making it easy to tighten or loosen the cap. The attached chain ensures the cap remains connected to the hose or hydrant, preventing loss.

Who uses it?

These caps are primarily used by fire departments, industrial facilities, and any organization that requires reliable fire protection equipment. They are essential for maintaining the readiness and functionality of fire hoses and hydrants.

Installation Instructions

• Preparation:
  • Ensure the hose or hydrant connection is clean and free from debris.
  • Inspect the cap for any signs of damage or wear.
• Align the Cap:
  • Position the cap so that the NH (National Hose) threads align with the threads on the hose or hydrant connection.
• Screw on the Cap:
  • Begin threading the cap onto the connection by hand. The rocker lug design allows for a secure grip, making it easier to turn.
  • Tighten the cap until it is snug. Avoid over-tightening, as this can damage the threads.
• Secure the Chain:
  • Attach the chain to a secure point on the hose or hydrant to prevent the cap from being lost when not in use.
• Final Check:
  • Ensure the cap is securely in place and the chain is properly attached.
  • Verify that the cap is providing a tight seal to prevent contaminants from entering the hose or hydrant.
