Work with the latest industry guidelines for standardized couplings and adapters for fire hose connections in the 2009 NFPA 1963.

NFPA 1963: Standard for Fire Hose Connections provides performance requirements for new fire hose couplings and adapters with nominal sizes from 3/4 in. (19 mm) through 8 in. (200 mm) and the specifications for the mating surfaces. Requirements apply to:

  • Coupling assemblies and adapters
  • Screw thread connections
  • Non-threaded connections
  • Gaskets and gasket seats

Keep pace with these changes in the 2009 edition of NFPA 1963:

  • New requirement for marking the country of origin on the surface of the product
  • Non-threaded caps are allowed to have pressure gaskets installed for pressure-only applications.

Together with NFPA® documents that address the fire hose, couplings and connections, and nozzles, NFPA 1963 contributes to a set of standards that are designed to provide consistent requirements for the whole fire hose system.

NFPA 1963 provides manufacturers with the latest industry guidelines for standardized couplings and adapters for fire hose connections.

When it comes to manufacturing fire hoses, connections, coupling and nozzles, every detail counts. Failure of a component can have serious consequences for those at a fire scene.

NFPA 1963: Standard for Fire Hose Connections details performance requirements for new fire hose couplings and adapters with nominal sizes from 3/4 in. (19 mm) through 8 in. (200 mm) along with the specifications for the mating surfaces. Requirements apply to:

  • Coupling assemblies and adapters
  • Screw-thread connections
  • Non-threaded connections
  • Fire hose nozzle gaskets and gasket seats

Changes to the 2014 edition of NFPA 1963 include:

  • The equations have been brought into conformity with the Manual of Style for NFPA® Technical Committee Documents.
  • All non-threaded adapters are now permitted to have gaskets, though not necessarily pressure gaskets.

This document complements NFPA 1962: Standard for the Care, Use, Inspection, Service Testing, and Replacement of Fire Hose, Couplings, Nozzles, and Fire Hose Appliances, which is for fire hose operators.

NFPA 1963 contributes to a set of standards that provide manufacturers with consistent requirements for the whole fire hose system.
