NFPA 1965 PDF

Highlights

Updates in the 2014 edition:
New Section 4.8, drawn from NFPA 1963: Standard for Fire Hose Connections, relates to connections for large-stream devices to provide more comprehensive information for the field
Clarified terms and other changes promote consistency with NFPA® documents such as NFPA 1964: Standard for Spray Nozzles, along with ASTM standards
Together with NFPA documents that address the fire hose, couplings and connections, and nozzles, NFPA 1965 contributes to a set of standards that are designed to provide consistent requirements for the whole fire hose system. (Print, 14 pp., 2014)
