What does a hose adaptor do?

A hose adaptor is designed specifically to facilitate the connection of two hose sections that share the same diameter but have different types of threads. This is particularly useful in firefighting situations where different hoses may come from various manufacturers or departments, each utilizing distinct threading standards, yet require a secure connection for effective water delivery.

By enabling this type of connection, hose adaptors ensure that firefighters can effectively combine equipment without the need for replacing entire hose sections, thereby enhancing operational efficiency and ensuring that firefighters can respond quickly and effectively to emergencies, regardless of equipment variations.
