1-1/2" Nylon Water Thief with Male & Female NPSH Connections and Garden Hose Outlet
The 1-1/2" Nylon Water Thief is a lightweight, high-visibility firefighting accessory that adds a convenient garden hose outlet to any 1-1/2" NPSH hose line. Constructed from durable yellow nylon, this water thief features one 1-1/2" male NPSH connection, one 1-1/2" female NPSH connection, and a centrally located male garden hose thread (GHT) outlet, allowing crews to quickly branch off a standard garden hose for spot fires, mop-up operations, wash-down, and other low-flow water applications.
Its inline design allows it to be installed anywhere along a hose lay, with water flowing in either direction depending on the hose configuration. The bright yellow body improves visibility in forests, grass, and other outdoor environments, making it easy to locate during firefighting operations.
Ideal for wildland firefighting, municipal fire departments, forestry operations, parks maintenance, and industrial water distribution, this water thief provides a fast and practical way to add an auxiliary water outlet without interrupting the main hose line.
