You may want to wait just a little while as the CFA is going to have to sell off its current 64mm hose and couplings. This is due to the new hoses being stortz and 65mm. The current hose does not fit on the new couplings. So as the new trucks come on line there may besome hose sold off. It would pay to give CFA HQ or Region 8, 13, 14, or 7 a call about it, as they have (or will soon have) the new trucks.
Surely an adaptor would be cheaper than replacing a hose?

Yes, the CFA is moving to storz in the future and all new appliances are fitted with only storz hoses.
However... No decision has officially been made.
There has also been no indication from above that any new hydrants being installed are to be storz. CFA is currently requiring all hydrants to be 3 thread per 25mm as this is our current requirements.
As already stated, im sure adapters will be issued. |

Not too sure about the rest of the Ultra Light Tankers being built, but Tooradin's came fitted with an all storz hydrant. |

So did Crib Point's Ultra Light, in fact that is all it came with, and the suction hose. We had to fit it out with all the rest of the gear

Crashman, am I right in saying that Geelong has a lot of 5 thread hydrants/risers around the city? |

If you are asking why not 3 thread for the whole state its because Storz is lighter so thats one advantage, I know the MFB have used storz for a while, although it will mean taking 2 adaptors to every hydrant... |

i dont think we will have to take two adapters to a hydrant. it wont take long for someone to make a 5tpi to stortz adapter
common sense should be a basic competency |

But we have 3 and 5 thread hydrants so will need to take both adaptors to a hyrdrant as we may not know what type that hydrant is
But thats alright, stortz seems to be a very good idea to change to, will make it much easier when working with the MFB |

The MFB has around a 1000 of them for the past 20 odd years.

Stupid newbie question here, how much of an advantage is Storz on delivery lines?
We have two tankers, one with Storz hard suction lines and one with 5 tpi hard suction. The Storz is a great advantage there where it has to be an absolutely airtight seal... much easier and quicker with the Storz. But the disadvantage is it's possible to get in a spot of bother with one lug stuck in and one stuck out.
For delivery lines air/watertightness doesn't really matter but the issue of getting stuck could still apply. So what is there to outweigh that and make it a better choice to 3 tpi or 5 tpi? Just the second or so quicker it is to couple? Not having to worry about male/female ends and Y-pieces? Or...?
