Buckley Industrial supplies a wide range of fire & marine hoses & couplings: from Layflat fire hose to Marine Hose, and Instantaneous & Storz couplings as well as Suction hose couplings.
Instantaneous Couplings
These are used to connect hose together and also to other fittings.
Thanks to the sealing mechanism, instantaneous couplings are suitable only for use in pressurised systems and are optimised for flow between the male and female half. Light Alloy for freshwater and Gunmetal for seawater. Couplings comply with BS336 – 1989.
Instantaneous Adaptors
If you need to convert one size to another in the same connection system or from one to another, instantaneous adaptors are what you require to accomplish this.
Branch Pipes and Nozzles
Used at the delivery line of hose to assist water velocity, resulting in spray or a jet, branch pipes and nozzles are vital tools for firefighting.
Suction Hose Couplings
These are the necessary couplings to connect suction hoses.
However, they work differently to an instantaneous coupling in that it provides an effective seal for using in suction applications. The coupling halves are normally threaded with a special round thread to BS336 and screwed together to compress a sealing washer. Water flow direction is typically from the female half to the male half of a coupling and it is possible to screw the coupling halves together without needing to twist the hose. The female halves come to 4 lugs and males to 2 lugs.
Male & Female Lugs
Standpipes
These are essentials to enable underground fire hydrants to connect to a pressurised water mains supply.
Bases of standpipes usually come to 2.5″ in threaded female hydrants round thread with the outlet usually being also 2.5″ as female instantaneous. Also, the standpipe shaft length comes in at 30″ and may benefit from the use of hydrant keys and bars.

Layflat Hoses: Fire Hoses
Layflat Fire Hose are used by firefighters worldwide and are probably the most important piece of equipment on a fire appliance.
There are three types of hose in use, type 1, 2 and 3:
Type 1 hoses are those to which no external treatment has been applied so are liable to absorb liquids.
Type 2 hoses are those to which an external elastomeric coating has been applied to give some protection against the absorption of liquids and to improve resistance to abrasion.
Type 3 hoses are those to which an external elastomeric coating has been applied to give very low absorption of liquids and high resistance to abrasion and heat
