Description
Hydrant Flushing Hose in Your Province's Standard Thread
Product Overview
A fire hydrant hose is only useful if its couplings match the hydrant, and hydrant threads in Canada change from province to province. This 2-1/2" single jacket assembly removes the guesswork: it comes coupled with male and female hydrant-threaded ends in five Canadian threads and two lengths, with a 150 PSI working rating. Pick the thread that matches your municipality, then the length.
Key Features and Benefits
- One male end and one female swivel end in the same hydrant thread: the hose connects straight to the hydrant port, the swivel tightens by hand without twisting the line, and matching lengths couple end to end.
- Five Canadian hydrant threads: BAT for BC and Alberta, CSA for Ontario, QST for Quebec, WCT for Saskatchewan and Manitoba, NS1 for Nova Scotia Zone 1.
- BAT ends serve both BC Standard Thread and Alberta Mutual Aid systems: the male is cut to the smaller AMA diameter and the female accepts the larger, so one hose covers both standards.
- Hard-coat aluminum couplings with a hardened, corrosion-resistant finish.
- White single jacket woven from 100% synthetic fabric over a black rubber tube: the jacket carries the pressure load and keeps the hose light, and the materials resist mildew and rot.
- 150 PSI working pressure, 300 PSI test pressure.
- 16 lb at 50 ft and 29 lb at 100 ft, light enough for one person to carry and connect.
Pick Your Thread and Length
Ordering takes two choices. Find your province's thread code below, then select the option that carries that code and your length.
| Your Province | Thread Code to Select |
|---|---|
| BC & Alberta | BAT |
| Ontario | CSA |
| Quebec | QST |
| Saskatchewan & Manitoba | WCT |
| Nova Scotia (Zone 1) | NS1 |
Every option on this page is labelled the same way: size, length, then thread code. An Ontario crew ordering 50 feet selects "2-1/2" x 50 Ft Assembly - CSA Threaded Ends."
Confirm Your Thread Before Ordering
Hydrant threads can vary between municipalities inside the same province, so check the thread on your hydrant or standpipe first. If the hydrant and your equipment carry different threads, a 2-1/2" female fire hydrant adapter threads onto the hydrant outlet and converts it to a male NPT connection. US hydrants use NST (NH) threads; none of these five threads fit NST equipment.
Applications
- Municipal flushing programs. A dedicated hydrant flushing hose moves flush water away from traffic and work areas.
- Hydrant drainage and maintenance. Connects to the 2-1/2" port for drain-downs, repairs, and seasonal servicing.
- Fire standby and standpipe service. Staged hose for temporary fire protection at hydrants and standpipes.
- Mill and plant fire protection. Hose for in-plant hydrant and yard systems running regional threads.
- Dewatering, washdowns, and jobsite water supply. Moves hydrant or pump water to the work, within the 150 PSI rating.
Single jacket hose is for stationary use. Do not drag it repeatedly or run it over rough ground; hose that is deployed and repacked daily belongs in the double jacket version below.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fire hydrant hose?
A fire hydrant hose is a lay-flat hose with couplings that match a hydrant's 2-1/2" outlet thread. Crews connect it for flushing, drainage, dewatering, and standby fire protection. This version is a single jacket: one woven synthetic layer over a rubber tube.
What thread does my fire hydrant use?
It depends on your province: BAT in BC and Alberta, CSA in Ontario, QST in Quebec, WCT in Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and NS1 in Nova Scotia Zone 1. Some municipalities run non-standard threads, so ask your local water utility first.
Will a US NST fire hose fit a Canadian hydrant?
Usually not. NST, also called NH, is the US standard, and none of the five Canadian hydrant threads on this page match it. An imported NST hose needs an adapter before it will connect to most Canadian hydrants.
Do I need a single jacket or double jacket hose for hydrant work?
Single jacket suits stationary work: flushing, drainage, and standby lines that are laid once and left in place. Double jacket adds an outer wear layer for hose that is dragged, deployed, and repacked routinely. Most flushing and maintenance programs run single jacket.
Which length should I order?
Measure the run from the hydrant to the discharge point and order the next length up. The 50 ft assembly weighs 16 lb and the 100 ft weighs 29 lb, so both are manageable for one person. Two assemblies couple together for longer runs.
