Pin Lug Hose Couplings are an economical and convenient coupling set for light duty liquid suction and discharge applications. A seal is obtained when the female swivel is threaded completely onto the male, seating at the gasket. The pin lugs can easily be tightened by hand or with a spanner wrench (smaller sizes have lug on female side only).
The standard pin lug hose coupling thread is NPSH, which is a straight pipe thread (no taper). Because there is no taper, the female will swivel onto the male until it bottoms out against the washer, pulling the coupling set tight to form a seal. The female NPSH thread coupling will mate with a standard male NPT. The male NPSH pin lug will not mate with a female NPT. NST/NH fire hose thread is also offered in select sizes. These couplings are best suited for outdoor water service. Do not use where a leak can be hazardous or costly.
