Rubber Gasket Guide
Fire Hose and Adapter Gaskets
Replacement rubber gaskets are for female couplings or adapters. These gaskets will fit National Hose thread "NH", National Standard Thread "NST" or National Pipe Straight Hose "NPSH".
Nozzle Gaskets
Replacement rubber gaskets are for nozzles that are standard "fire hose thread" identified at NH, NST or National Pipe Straight Hose identified as NPSH.
Camlock Gaskets
Camlock gaskets aka cam and groove gaskets fit into the grooves of a female camlock fitting. The pressure of the male camlock fitting pushes against the gasket to create a tight seal and stops leakage. Nitrile gaskets aka Buna N Gasket or NBR, is used in a broad range of applications. We stock camlock gaskets from half inch to six inches.
Storz Gaskets
There are two types of storz gaskets.
Storz pressure gaskets will seal two storz hose couplings or adapters when pressurized. When not pressurized the fittings should be easily separated with a storz wrench. Please see our Wrenches category under All Products for various storz hydrant wrenches and spanner wrenches.
Storz suction gaskets are required for suction applications. A storz suction gasket will seal when two hose couplings or adapters are connected. These always require storz wrenches to connect and disconnect due to the tight seal. Storz suction gaskets are thicker than storz pressure gaskets to prevent air from entering during suction hose applications.
After installing a new gasket we recommend a storz lubricant to preserve and lubricate the gasket. See our Gasket Spray Lubricant category under Adapters & Fittings.
