The concept was good, but it never worked out like they wanted it too. A hydrant adapter??? Bought a dozen from Harrington last year. A lot less than the Darley price but would have to look price up. Harrington has everything there is Storz. He wasn't talking about the Storz adapters, per si. This was a split like thread that floated, spring held, and all you did was to push this thing on the steamer outlet of the hydrant and make a small right turn to tighten it.

In other words there was a need to thread the adapter and turn the swivel several times to tighten it up. The idea was good for its time, but there were problems with it. There were cases that this adapter blew off the hydrant. Most departments removed them from the pumpers and probably use them as paper weights now.
