According to Coast Guard Regulations (46 CFR), the type of fire hose coupling threads required for vessel fire equipment, on or after July 1, 1954, shall be __________.
• 46 CFR requirements for firefighting equipment on inspected vessels • Standardization of fire hose couplings and threads to ensure interchangeability with shore and Coast Guard equipment • Historical date on or after July 1, 1954 as a cutoff for required standards
• Which coupling thread standard would most likely allow your ship’s fire hoses to connect quickly to municipal (city) fire hydrants and Coast Guard shore connections? • Look at how U.S. regulations typically name widely adopted industrial standards for hose threads—what wording do they use? • Among the options, which term is commonly associated with standardized hose thread systems used nationwide across many services, not just in the marine industry?
• Verify in 46 CFR (Fire protection equipment sections) which specific term is used for required hose coupling threads after July 1, 1954. • Check that the chosen standard would allow interchangeability with fire-fighting shore connections and other vessels. • Confirm that the standard you pick is a nationwide, recognized hose thread standard, not just a classification society or testing lab designation.
