Describes requirements for couplings, connectors and other components for use with delivery hose conforming to BS 6391 and suction hose conforming to BS 3165 or BS EN ISO 14557, suitable for firefighting purposes up to a working pressure not exceeding 16 bar.

This British Standard specifies requirements for couplings, connectors and other components for use with delivery hose conforming to BS6391 and suction hose conforming to BS3165 or BSENISO14557, suitable for firefighting purposes up to a working pressure not exceeding 16 bar.

It also applies to other items of equipment associated with the use of firefighting hose.

AnnexA to AnnexE specify methods for testing various aspects of performance. AnnexF lists the standards specifying the materials for components listed in Table2a).
