Fittings (Hose tails, couplings, caps, Storz)

Fire protection fittings are key components in any hydrant, hose or fixed extinguishing system. Correctly selected and installed, they help ensure safe operation, reliable water delivery and easy handling in everyday use and in an emergency.

Within this category you will typically find hose tails and connectors for creating secure transitions between pipes, hydrants and hoses. These parts are available in different diameters and materials so they can be matched to both industrial and building service applications. Properly chosen hose tails reduce leakage risk and make installation and maintenance more straightforward.

Couplings and Storz connectors play an essential role in quick connection and disconnection of hoses and equipment. Their standardised design allows compatible elements to be joined with a simple twist, which is particularly important in time-critical situations. By using the right type and size of coupling, you can build systems that are both flexible and robust, and that integrate easily with existing components.

Caps and blanking plugs protect unused outlets and connection points from dirt, moisture and mechanical damage. They help keep systems clean and ready for use, while also reducing the chance of accidental leaks. In many installations, these small accessories significantly extend the service life of valves, hydrants and manifolds by shielding sensitive sealing surfaces.

Hose ends and hose clamps ensure that hoses are securely fixed to fittings and connectors. A correctly selected clamp distributes pressure evenly around the hose, reducing the risk of slippage or damage under load. This is important not only for safety, but also for maintaining consistent performance over time, especially in systems that operate at higher pressures.

When planning a fire protection or irrigation system, it is worth considering the full chain of components from the start: pipes, hoses, valves and fittings should all be compatible. Choosing fittings with appropriate pressure ratings and connection standards helps avoid later modifications and simplifies future expansions. Clear labelling and consistent sizing across the installation also make inspection and maintenance faster.

Regular visual checks of fittings can reveal early signs of wear, corrosion or mechanical damage. Replacing compromised components in good time contributes to long-term reliability. In many environments, such as industrial plants or large buildings, well-documented maintenance of fittings supports compliance with internal safety policies and relevant technical guidelines.

If you are assembling or upgrading a system, it can be helpful to group fittings by function: connection, transition, closure and protection. This approach makes it easier to select all the necessary parts and reduces the risk of missing a critical element during installation. Keeping a small stock of commonly used fittings and clamps can also minimise downtime during repairs.

Our product range is structured to make comparison and selection straightforward. Filter options such as diameter, material, connection type and intended application allow you to quickly narrow down the list to the items that match your design. Detailed product pages typically include key technical data to support informed decisions.

Whether you are working on a new project or maintaining an existing installation, carefully chosen fittings contribute significantly to the overall safety and reliability of the system. Browse the category, compare the available options and select the fittings that best suit your technical requirements and operating environment.
