The hose coupling fits over this and the two are locked together by twisting the bushing in place.

He was silent, staring out at the horizon, his lips encircling the cigar like a hose coupling.

Perhaps the greatest legacy of the fire was the impetus it gave to efforts to standardize firefighting equipment in the United States, especially hose couplings.

Threaded hose couplings are used in the USA, Canada, and Britain.

Jamaica Water Supply hydrants use a different hose coupling from those used in city water hydrants.

During the time of the Great Fire "American cities had more than six hundred different sizes and variations of fire hose couplings."

Dimitri poked around awhile with his wrenches, checking bolts and hose couplings, filters and fittings.

A cam and groove is a quick connect fluid transfer hose coupling that consists of a male "adapter" and female "coupler".

A "Boss" Ground Joint Coupling valve hose coupling is primarily used for compressed air or steam.

Webasto Roof Systems is on the A4097 in Minworth, where Hozelock make plastic hose couplings, next to Cadbury's distribution centre.

Efforts to fight the fire were hampered by inadequate fire extinguishers, fire hose couplings which did not match the water line, and a lack of water in the lines.

Storz is a type of hose coupling invented by Carl August Guido Storz in 1882 that connects using interlocking hooks and flanges.

One is a hose coupling for hydrogen gas, and the other is an electric connection like the one on a leaf blower, ready for a standard three-prong extension cord.

Holedall (Scovill/Rostra) Internally Expanded Hose Coupling (see Dixon Valve) Used primarily on fuel oil hose applications, where a full flow is required.

The versatile Starter Kit contains not only a 50ft Soakerhose, but also 10ft of garden hose, and a set of hose couplings, plus a flow control regulator and a 16-page instruction manual.

The "Air King" Universal Air Hose Coupling (see Dixon Valve) is malleable iron or brass "quarter turn" "sexless coupling" usually found on pneumatic tools like jackhammers.
