2.2 NOZZLE COUPLINGS
Many inlet couplings such as NH (National Hose) or BSP (British Straight Pipe) can be specifi ed at time of order.
CAUTION
Nozzle must be properly connected. Mismatched or damaged threads may cause nozzle to leak
or uncouple under pressure and could cause injury.
CAUTION
Dissimilar metals coupled together can cause galvanic corrosion that can result in the inability
to unscrew the threads or complete loss of thread engagement over time. Per NFPA 1962
(1998 edition), if dissimilar metals are left coupled together an anti-corrosive lubricant should
be applied to the threads. Also the coupling should be disconnected and inspected at least
quarterly.
