Furthermore, you must ensure your fittings and couplings are rated for water. Led free brass is usually available but on the expensive side. Plastic is usually the way to go, but they only go up to 2\u201d. If you have a bigger diameter you need, you will have to go with aluminum fittings and couplings.<\/p>\n

Most aluminum fittings start at 4\u201d in the United States, you can get a 3\u201d NSF hose, but you will be hard-pressed to find aluminum fittings in 3\u201d that connect to NSF hose other than fire hydrant fittings. Typically, 4\u201d 6\u201d 8\u201d10\u201d 12\u201d are the larger sizes that aluminum fittings have the capability for connecting to NSF hose via Victaulic couplings and fittings.<\/p>\n

An article for water distribution providers Have you had a situation where providing potable water was critical? Maybe the only way possible was thru a lay-flat hose.
