Hose Coupling
Storz Coupling
Storz coupling is a type of hose coupling used in fire service applications and industrial settings. The Storz coupling features a symmetrical design with two identical halves that connect by interlocking bayonet lugs and a swiveling collar.
Storz Coupling
Storz Coupling is a symmetrical bayonet fitting — both halves are identical, so there is no male or female side. A quarter-turn locks the connection, making it the standard coupling for fire fighting equipment across Europe and many municipal systems worldwide.
📋 Technical Specifications & Core Value
Material: Aluminum, Brass, or Stainless Steel
Sizes: 25mm to 150mm (1" to 6")
Working pressure: 16 bar
Connection: Symmetric bayonet (no male/female)
Seal: Flat face with rubber gasket
🛠️ Compatible Coupling & Fitting Options
Storz with Lever Lock: Quarter-turn lever provides positive locking engagement. Self-sealing gasket compresses on connection for drip-free operation.
Storz with Threaded Connection: BSPP or NPT threaded inlet for permanent pipe installation. Available in aluminum, brass, or stainless steel.
Storz Blank Cap and Plug: Blank caps seal open couplings when not in use. Plugs insert into female Storz connections to prevent contamination.
💎 Key Value Highlights
Symmetrical design — any two couplings connect, eliminating male/female mismatch
Quarter-turn bayonet lock — fastest coupling mechanism available
Flat-face seal minimizes water loss during connection
Quality Assurance: Available in aluminum, brass, and SS316 to match the chemical environment. Aluminum for general fire service, brass for fuel-handling safety, and SS316 for marine and chemical plant use. Each coupling is tested to 1.5x working pressure and verified for bayonet engagement smoothness.
