Product description

◆Side 1 - Male 1 1/2 inch NH / NST will only connect to a female 1 1/2 inch NH / NST

◆Side 2 - Male 1 1/2 inch NPT will only connect to a female 1 1/2 inch NPT or 1 1/2 inch NPSH

◆NH / NST:  The most common thread type in use by fire departments today is NST or National Standard Thread. NST also goes by the initials NH or National Hose. It can even be referred to as NHT or National Hose Thread. But NST or NH is more common these days. NH = NST.

◆NPSH:  National Pipe Straight Hose (NPSH) or Iron Pipe Thread (IPT) has the same threads per inch (TPI) as National Pipe Tapered (NPT) but the thread does not taper. NPSH is a straight thread and seals by a gasket in the female coupling which allows for a swivel, just like NH / NST, which make both ideal for hose couplings. Warning - 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.

◆NPT:  National Pipe Tapered is common in plumbing and some industrial uses. Sometimes referred to as pipe thread because PVC pipe and schedule 40 pipe are typically threaded in NPT. As its name implies this is a tapered thread so that the outside diameter of the male (ODM) gets smaller towards the end of the fitting and the inside diameter of the female narrows with depth. As the two fittings are threaded together the opposite tapers force thread friction and makes the seal without the use of a gasket.

• Hex nipple fitting 1-1/2" NH to 1-1/2" NPT Double Male Fire Hose Adapter
• Male to male adapters are used to bridge two female hose, pipe or valve fittings.
• Suitable for use in general firefighting applications. With hexagonal section in the middle for an increased bearing surface when adjusting the fitting with a wrench
• Hex tube fiting as a short length of pipe with threaded ends for connecting threaded pipes
• Made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability

User questions & answers

Question:	I want to know the central axial length from the end of the male side to the end of the female side
Answer:	Hi: The size listed is pre-shrunk. This tubing does shrink quite a bit so I would go with quarter inch. (1/4) to be sure it will go over the terminal end.
Question:	Does the hose connection swivel? Or is this one piece
Answer:	Hi: Vendors only offer this product in set lengths. I would suggest you contact a manufacturer for a specific required length. Normally heat shrink is only used in short sections such as terminal ends. Once shrunk it is not very flexible in length applications.
Question:	Is this the adapter that screws into the fire hydrant
Answer:	Hi: The inside diameter is 1/16 inch. This size would be used for 20 gauge wire terminal ends or splices. Shrink with heat gun or soldering gun or a flame source.
