Fire department connections are actually used in fire sprinkler systems.When any fire occurs water is discharged from the sprinkler heads that have fused, and are discharging water to supress and extinguish the fire. The fire department connection is used by the fire department to add to the water supply to the sprinklers and/or charge the interior hydrant connection withn the building (if any).

When do you need stortz connection?

Stortz connections are used to connected lengths of fire department water supply hose, or to connect a fire pumper to a structure's sprinkler and/or standpipe system. They provide a 1/4 turn 'sexless' connection, which is normally faster and easier to complete than a threaded coupling. The type of connection used to supply a structure is regulated by the fire code that applies to the jusisdiction where the structure is located. Designers and engineers should consult with their local Fire Marshal to determine the correct type of connection for their local. Using this type of connection for fire department supply hose depends on the standard operating procedures for hose in place at the fire department. Designers and engineers should conact their Fire Chief's office to determine these procedures.
