Definition & Operational Usage
A fire hose coupling is a fitting used to connect two sections of fire hose or to attach a hose to a nozzle or other equipment. Couplings are typically made of metal or plastic and come in various styles, such as threaded or quarter-turn, to ensure a secure and leak-proof connection. They are essential for maintaining the integrity of the water supply during firefighting operations.
