Fppi 07-250-00 Fire Hose Cap 2-1/2 Inch Brass Nst

Product Description

The FPPI 07-250-00 is a 2-1/2 inch brass fire hose cap designed to seal and protect National Standard Thread (NST) fire hose connections when not in service. Constructed from solid brass, it provides durable corrosion resistance in demanding fire protection environments. The cap ships with an attached retaining chain that keeps it secured to the coupling body, preventing loss during field use. Fire protection contractors and maintenance technicians working on standpipe systems, fire department connections, and hydrant outlets install this type of cap as a standard protective fitting.

This cap is suited for use on 2-1/2 inch NST outlets found on wet and dry standpipe systems, fire department connections (FDC), and wall hydrants in both commercial and industrial buildings. It is installed wherever a capped outlet must remain accessible for fire department use and must be protected from debris, weathering, and unauthorized tampering between service events. A single cap is included per unit.

• Solid brass construction resists corrosion in indoor and outdoor installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install fitting for 2-1/2 inch NST fire hose outlets on standpipe systems, fire department connections, and wall hydrants.

Installation Notes

Installation and inspection of fire hose caps on standpipe and FDC systems should be performed by a licensed fire protection contractor in accordance with NFPA 13 and NFPA 14 requirements. Before removing an existing cap for replacement, confirm the system is isolated or that removal will not compromise active suppression coverage. Hand-tighten the cap firmly onto the NST outlet and verify the retaining chain is secured to the coupling body. Do not use pipe wrenches or tools that could deform the brass threads.
