Importance of BS336 Hose Adaptors

BS336 hose adaptors comply with British Standard 336, making them super versatile. They can be used to connect different equipment and hose systems. This facilitates the simple and fast delivery of water in emergency situations increasing efficiency for firefighters. Furthermore, these adaptors contain internal spring loaded plunger mechanisms meaning they can be connected and disconnected both securely and quickly in situations where every second matters.

At Parsch UK, we understand the vital importance of maintaining strong firefighting systems. That’s why our BS336 hose pipe adaptors are engineered to incredibly high standards to provide enhanced performance, durability and resistance to wear. Every component of the hose system must be made this way to eliminate the risk of failure.

Types of BS336 Hose Adaptors

At Parsch UK, we have a vast range of hose pipe adaptors in varying configurations so you can find a solution that meets your unique requirements. We have male x male, male x female, and female x female couplings, allowing you to link up any hose systems.

You can also choose from BSP adaptors with a rounded thread, which are most commonly used in the UK, and NPT adaptors with a flat thread. Furthermore, select from different robust materials for your hose pipe connector, including gun metal, anodised, stainless steel, and light alloy. These metals have different useful properties. Stainless steel for instance has extremely high resistance to corrosion so is suitable for use in harsh environments. Light alloy and anodised metal are more lightweight and easier to handle. Gun metal is resistant to salt water and useful in marine environments.

Choosing the Right Hose Connector

You must choose the right hose pipe connector to ensure an effective seal, reliable performance, and consistent water pressure. When looking for a hose adaptor, consider the following:

  • Application - Different types of adaptor work better for different functions. The B366 hose adaptor’s quick release for instance makes it suitable for firefighters as they must work quickly.
  • Material - Choose the most suitable material for your needs, e.g. stainless steel if you operate in particularly harsh environments.
  • Diameter - Ensure the adaptor is the right size to make a perfect seal that won’t leak.
  • Thread Type - Select the thread type compatible with your hose systems such as BSP or NPT.

BS336 Hose Connector Applications

Instantaneous BS336 hose adaptors are low pressure fittings used by the fire services to connect fire hoses to the mains water supply. These hose pipe adaptors can also be used as a coupling for two different hose systems. BS336 hose connectors can further be used in various settings for the secure delivery of water systems, for example by utility companies or in industry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, you can connect two fire hoses using a hose coupling, which joins the ends of hoses securely to maintain water flow. It's important to ensure compatibility in terms of hose diameter and type (e.g. lay-flat, rubber) to ensure effective firefighting operations without compromising water pressure or efficiency.

Fire hydrant couplings come in various types globally, including BS336 threaded couplings (typically 2.5 inches), Storz couplings (common in Europe), and instantaneous couplings (quick-connect types used widely in firefighting). Each type has specific features tailored to different firefighting practices and standards in different regions.

BS336 is a British Standard that specifies the dimensions, materials, and performance requirements for fire hose couplings and fittings. It ensures compatibility and reliability in firefighting equipment, and facilitates interoperability.

An instantaneous coupling is a type of fire hose coupling designed for rapid connection and disconnection without the need for tools. It features a lever-operated mechanism that securely locks the hose in place, allowing firefighters to quickly deploy hoses during emergencies with minimal delay.
