Brass Fire Hose Adapter
This brass pin-lug swivel coupling joins a 2-1/2 inch NST female thread to a 1-1/2 inch NPT male thread. It is built for fire-service and industrial water-supply lines where a rotating connection prevents hose twist during deployment. The all-brass construction resists corrosion in wet environments. California Proposition 65 warnings apply to chemicals in the material.
Pin-Lug Hand Tightening
The coupling tightens by hand using the integrated pin lugs, so no wrenches are required on site. The swivel action allows the female end to rotate freely once engaged, reducing kink stress on the attached hose. Misaligned threads or debris in the lugs can prevent a full seal, so inspect both faces before each use. Overtightening may deform the soft brass lugs.
NST-to-NPT Interface Limits
The NST (NH) thread form differs from NPT in pitch and profile, so this adapter only works where one side is true NST and the other is NPT. It cannot connect two NPT ports or two NST ports without additional fittings. Brass is unsuitable for high-pressure hydraulic service or aggressive chemical lines. Pressure rating depends on the hose and clamp system used, not the adapter alone.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the swivel action is working correctly after threading the 1-1/2 in NPT male end?
Hand-tighten the pin lugs on the 2-1/2 in NST female side, then rotate the swivel; it should turn smoothly without binding, indicating the brass-on-brass joint is seated and free.
What comes in the box and are gaskets or thread sealant included?
The package contains only the brass pin-lug swivel coupling; NST gaskets and NPT thread sealant or tape must be purchased separately to complete the connection.
Which size combination should I select for a 1-1/2 in pipe and a 2-1/2 in fire hose thread?
Choose the 1-1/2 in NPT male by 2-1/2 in NST female version; it matches those exact pipe and hose thread diameters.
