CAN ULC-S558-13 (R2018) PDF Download

CAN ULC-S558-13 (R2018) is a standard that outlines the specifications and requirements for external-lug quick-connect couplings and adapters used in the forestry fire service. The standard specifically focuses on couplings and adapters with a lug design, which are used for connecting forestry fire hoses.

The couplings and adapters covered in the standard are designed for use with forestry fire hoses of two standard sizes, namely 25 mm and 38 mm. These quick-connect couplings and adapters are crucial in ensuring the efficient and effective connection of hoses, enabling firefighters to rapidly deploy and control water flow during firefighting operations in forested areas.

The standard ensures that the design, dimensions, and performance of the external-lug quick-connect couplings and adapters meet certain criteria to ensure reliable and safe operation. Compliance with the requirements outlined in this standard ensures that the couplings and adapters function properly, securely fastening to the hoses, and facilitating quick connection and disconnection without compromising on performance or safety.
