This British Standard applies to the following types of reduced bore couplings and adaptors:—
- Couplings with ribbed tail-ends and hexagons (see Table 1a, Table 1b, Table 5 and Table 7) for ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 2½ 3 and 4 in. hose.
- Couplings with serrated tail-ends and hexagons (see Table 2, Table 6 and Table 7) for ¾, 1, 1¼, 1½, 2, 2½, 3 and 4 in. hose.
- Couplings with ribbed tail-ends and rectangular horns (see Table 3, Table 5 and Table 8) for 1½, 2, 2½, 3 and 4 in. hose.
- Couplings with serrated tail-ends and round horns (see Table 4, Table 6 and Table 9) for 1½, 2, 21½, 3 and 4 in. hose.
- Adaptor: double ended union, with hexagons and with male threads at both ends (see Table 10).
- Adaptor: swivelling type with hexagons, or with round horns, and with female threads at both ends (see Table 11 and Table 12).
- Caps (see Table 13).
- Plugs (see Table 14).
The maximum pressures recommended for the couplings when they are attached to suitable hoses (see Foreword, paragraph 6) are as follows:
100 lb/sq. in. when the hose is secured to the coupling by wire binding.
150 lb/sq. in. when the hose is secured to the ribbed type of coupling by suitable clips.
