What is the Difference Between Single Jacket and Double Jacket Fire Hose?
A single jacket hose has one cover protecting the inner rubber liner and a double jacket hose has two covers to protect the liner for increased durability and sometimes water pressure rating.
Connections
The female side of a NH / NST coupling will only connect to a male NH / NST connection
The male side of a NH / NST coupling will only connect to a female NH / NST connection
The female side of a NPSH coupling will only connect to a male NPT pipe or a male NPSH connection. For example, a female 1 1/2" NPSH coupling will connect to a 1 1/2" male pipe with NPT threads.
The male side of a NPSH coupling will only connect to a female NPSH connection. It will NOT thread into a female NPT pipe. For example, a male NPSH coupling will NOT thread into a female metal or pvc pipe.
The most frequently used fire hoses today come with NH / NST or NPSH threads.
The most common thread type in use by fire departments today is NST or National Standard Thread. It is often referred to as “fire hose thread”.
Fire hoses with National Pipe Straight Hose Thread (NPSH) has the same threads per inch as National Pipe Thread (NPT) but the threads do not taper. This allows a female coupling to thread onto a NPT fitting without being a permanent connection.
