Description
Corrosion Resistant Fire Hose with Factory-Installed Brass Couplings
Product Overview
Aluminum couplings hold up in dry storage, but fittings near water or weather last longer in brass. This fire hose with brass fittings ships with NPSH swivel couplings on each end, ready to thread onto any male NPT or NPSH port. A 1-1/2 fire hose assembly in 50, 75, and 100-foot lengths at 150 PSI working pressure, with no separate coupling work.
Key Features and Benefits
- Brass NPSH swivel fittings on each end (one male, one female swivel). Brass resists corrosion in wet storage, outdoor staging, and environments with mild chemicals.
- Available in 50, 75, and 100 foot lengths. The 75-foot option is exclusive to the brass-fitted version.
- One layer of white 100% synthetic fabric over a black rubber tube. Rated for 150 PSI working pressure with a 300 PSI test pressure.
- The female NPSH swivels threads onto male NPT and NPSH ports without an adapter.
- The synthetic jacket resists mildew and rot, so the hose stores well even when put away damp.
- This fire hose with brass fittings ships complete. No couplings, clamps, or expansion rings to source separately.
Why Brass Fittings
The same hose ships with either brass or aluminum NPSH couplings. The fitting material is the only difference.
- Brass resists corrosion in wet, damp, or outdoor conditions. Aluminum wears a hard-coat anodized finish that protects well indoors but can pit when exposed to standing water or mild chemicals over time.
- A brass fire hose coupling adds weight at each end. For carry-in or hiking-distance deployments, the single jacket fire hose assembly with aluminum NPSH fittings is the lighter choice.
- Brass matches existing brass infrastructure. Mixing metals at a wet junction can accelerate galvanic corrosion. Facilities that run brass throughout should stay with brass.
- Both threads are identical. A fire hose with brass fittings connects to the same pumps, wyes, and adapters as the aluminum version. The choice is environment and existing hardware, not compatibility.
Pick a Length
All three lengths share the same NPSH swivel fittings and the same 1-1/2" single jacket hose.
| Length | Working / Test Pressure | Weight (Coupled) |
|---|---|---|
| 50 ft | 150 / 300 PSI | 9 lb |
| 75 ft | 150 / 300 PSI | 15 lb |
| 100 ft | 150 / 300 PSI | 17 lb |
The 75-foot length is exclusive to this brass NPSH fire hose. It fills the gap for runs where 50 feet falls short, and 100 feet creates excess coil.

Applications
Mill and building fire protection. Hose cabinets and standpipe connections in mills and commercial buildings sit fixed for months between uses. Brass fittings resist the slow corrosion that develops in damp utility rooms and covered outdoor stations. A brass NPSH fire hose connects directly to the standpipe valve.
Outdoor staging and forestry. Hose staged near pumps or water points takes weather exposure between uses. A corrosion resistant fire hose at the connection point lasts longer than aluminum in rain, humidity, and temperature swings.
Pump discharge and washdown. This 1-1/2 fire hose assembly threads onto a pump's male NPT discharge port for water transfer, tank fills, and light washdown. Brass couplings tolerate mild cleaning chemicals that can attack bare aluminum over repeated wash cycles.
One honest limit. Single jacket hose is for staged or low-traffic use. Do not drag it repeatedly across rough ground. Lines that get hauled and re-laid on every job belong in a double jacket fire hose with brass NPSH fittings.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do brass vs aluminum fire hose fittings compare?
A brass fire hose coupling resists corrosion better in wet or outdoor storage than aluminum. Aluminum is lighter and costs less. Both use the same NPSH thread and connect to the same ports. Choose brass where fittings stay exposed to moisture.
Why use brass fittings on fire hoses?
Brass handles wet storage, outdoor exposure, and mild chemicals without corroding the way bare aluminum can over time. It also avoids galvanic corrosion when connected to other brass fittings in an existing system. The trade-off is extra weight at each coupling.
What is the difference between a fire hose assembly and hose only?
A fire hose assembly ships with couplings installed on both ends and connects right away. Fire hose assembly vs hose only comes down to convenience: buy an assembly for standard NPSH runs, buy a single jacket hose by the foot when the job needs a custom coupling or length.
How to connect an NPSH fire hose to an NPT pipe?
Thread the female NPSH swivel onto any male NPT or NPSH port by hand. The internal gasket seats against the male face to form a seal. No tape, sealant, or tools needed. Male NPSH threads do not fit into female NPT, so confirm the port direction before ordering.
What fire hose coupling material lasts longest?
Brass lasts longest in wet or outdoor conditions. It resists corrosion, does not pit in humidity, and tolerates mild cleaning chemicals. Aluminum performs well in dry indoor storage. For permanent installations or hose stored near water, brass is the longer-lasting coupling material.
