It's called pressure.

Hello, thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, all of our prices are set by the manufacturers of these products. A dry hydrant is a great way to achieve a water supply in a rural area. For more information, please visit our website: www.firehosedirect.com

Hi, NPSH stands for National Pipe Straight Hose thread. It 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. We are not sure what NPSC thread is, and cannot comment on what the connection looks like. Thanks

Hi, The nozzle in the video is listed as 1 1/2" NH. It is not meant for use with a 1" hose line, however, we do sell a 1" version on our website. Please contact us directly for further assistance. Thanks

Hi, Storz couplings are widely used by fire departments, and, as mentioned, do not have a female or male side. For more information on Storz, please watch our video: czcams.com/video/zEQ5nTYCiLQ/video.html Thanks - FireHoseDirect

Hi, We are using a Honda pump with a 2" Outlet, converted to a 1" NPSH Female hose connection, with finally a 1" NPSH Female-to-Male 1" NH Adapter connecting to the NH nozzle. Apologies for the late response.

Hi, For residential home protection, we recommend a variety of home defense products depending on your hydrant size/thread, GPM, and area size. If you are interesting in finding a specific solution, feel free to contact us for additional help. Thanks, www.firehosedirect.com

Hi, If you are referring to the distance the nozzle can reach, it depends solely on pump pressure and GPM. thanks

Hi, Thanks for your comment. This is a very old video, in which, we were attempting to show a quick demonstration of a hydrant diffuser. We are now in the process of remaking ALL new videos for our current products - with a more dedicated, in-depth approach. We will be sure to add it to our list. Thanks

The main purpose of any female to male thread adapter is dependent. While this size is compatible with most U.S. fire hydrants, many Fire Departments require firefighters to have their own adapter to ensure they are able to connect to a hydrant. Others use the connection elsewhere on the fire truck, as an extension of the pump mechanism for easier set-up/use.

There are different types of side mounted sprinkler systems. However, if the sprinkler still shares the same "Hex" style sprinkler head, then, you should be able to use it.

Thanks for your comment. The product you are looking for is available on our site in plastic (polypropylene) 3/4" male cam to 1/2" Female NPT. Currently, it is not one of the products we list on our Amazon storefront - which may be why you are unable to find it. Our company has been in business since 2010, and are headquartered in North Carolina. We are happy to answer any additional questions. Just give us a call.

It would be very difficult to kink a 1 1/2" that is pressurized. We don't recommend doing this. The process outlined in the video can even be done with 2+ more people, which would make it easier and safer. Please let us know if you need any more help.

I kink three inch rigid plumbing that’s how cool I am

@@jacobsamson257 I am sure you do.

Hi, Thank you for your feedback. This video demonstrates a general way to measure male adapter threads. This can help identify the correct adapter size. If you would like additional information on how to more accurately measure a specific adapter, please visit the 'Support' tab on our website and click on "Adapter Guide."

Take the length between the holes and divide by Pi(3.1416) Will give you the outside diameter. Add a pitch gauge for the thread spec. Pitch gauge will need to have 7.5 TPI if you want to measure 2-1/2” x NST.

Hello - apologies for the late reply, The thread on this nozzle is 1" NPSH. This is a larger thread than what is typically found on home plumbing, which we call 3/4" GHT (Garden Hose Thread). Thank you for your question.

Thx you but what type of hose would you buy for a home in Colorado use only . Small community in forest area gravel roads with a number of fire hydrants ? ? Thx

Yes, you could - hypothetically - use it in a similar manner. However, double jacket fire hose typically utilizes internally expanded couplings. For safety reasons

The orifice size on this nozzle is 1/2".

It seems to have real good distance.👍

For this nozzle, the approximate GPM is 22, and the approximate distance is ~60ft depending on your water source.

This was shot/filmed at a fire station nearby. We used a hydrant located on site. Per our website, the operating pressure of this particular nozzle is ~100 psi. If you would like to protect your house from grass fires, wildfires, or just need the added pressure - we recommend using a pump.

@@FireHoseDirect wish I had Fire Station pressure- I bought a fire hose nozzle that requires at least 70 psi. My home doesn't reach that kind of pressure. So it doesn't flow very strong. It is a one inch inlet that I purchased an adapter to fit my standard residential hose. So would adapting a thicker one inch hose to the home faucet increase pressure slightly do you think? Or am I SOL? Lol! Thanks!

On a standard garden hose spigot, there is not much that can be done by increasing hose size (**if the pressure is low***). It would slightly increase the water coming out of the nozzle, but not PSI.

@@FireHoseDirect will do- thanks for the great info and super fast replies!!

​@@FireHoseDirect Will this work well with a honda wx10 pump? It is a 1 inch pump, 120 litres per minute 3.9 bar. Thanks
