All aluminum components are hardcoat anodized per MIL-A-8625 Type III, Class 1 No plain anodized, painted or powder coated finishes All Storz heads are forged 6061-T6 aluminum to SAE-AMS-QQ-A-367 and ASTM B247 Complies with DIN standards which require that Storz heads must be forged when used in firefighting applications High quality molded Storz gaskets made using Buna-N material.\u003cp\u003eThis material is resistant to most hydrocarbons, oils, gasoline, acids and greases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock Lever is an investment casting of 304 stainless steel ASTM A743\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock Lever Spring is 316 stainless wire passivated AISI 316\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock lever mounted with 18-8 stainless steel shoulder bolt \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRed Head Specifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAluminum Storz Adapters consist of Storz coupling heads machined from forged 6061-T6 aluminum and adapter components fabricated from seamless extruded 6061-T6 aluminum. All aluminum components are hardcoat anodized per MIL-A-8625 Type III, Class 1.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThreads are blunt start Higbee cut with indicators on adjacent lugs. Part identification is permanent and stamped or forged prior to hardcoat. Swivel attachment must be stainless steel ball or 6269-T9 aluminum roller bearings, not swaged. All 4, 5 and 6 adapters will include a stainless steel external spring-loaded lock. Storz gaskets are molded Buna-N rubber. Face gaskets are lathe cut ozone free EPDM or synthetic rubber. Adapters and components must meet the requirements of NFPA 1963.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote - \u003cstrong\u003e3 inch NH \/ NST is very rare\u003c\/strong\u003e and is often confused with \u003cstrong\u003e2.5 inch NH \/ NST which is very common\u003c\/strong\u003e. If you have a fire department connection (FDC), hose coupling or an adapter check the female coupling for stamped numbers and letters. Most 3.0 inch hoses use 2.5 inch NH \/ NST couplings.
