The Storz Blind Cap is used to close off open hoses, distribution manifolds, or piping systems to prevent leakage on unused connections. The Blind Cap prevents debris from entering the system. It also protects manifold waterways during storage and transport. Caps include a nylon coated stainless steel cable to secure the cap and prevent accidental misplacement. An optional petcock valve can be supplied to allow for pressure reduction prior to cap removal.

U.S. Coupling manufactures Storz suction hose couplings from 4” to 12”, and NH Threaded suction hose couplings from 2.5” to 8”. This U.S. Coupling Storz coupling is for ridged PVC suction hose.
Ideal for use in quick deployment of hose without rolling or twisting, the Storz x Rocker Lug Swivel Female Thread is hard anodized and powder coated for corrosion resistance and protection. A swivel fitting is a hose connection that prevents kinks by swiveling or turning the hose without affecting the connection of the hose to the water source. This stops the hose from kinking when in use and helps to unkink it when you first walk out the hose. The Storz x Rocker Lug Swivel features raised ridges to allow for better grip when connecting or disconnecting couplings.
Made from custom manufactured, aircraft grade 6061-T6 seamless, aluminum extrusions, this fitting uses an National Hose Thread (NH) thread type. The female thread diameter ranges from 2-1/2” to 8” and the Storz diameter ranges from 4” to 12”.
