The Red Head Brass Commitment to Quality and Safety in Storz Couplings
Fabricated from seamless extruded and forged 6061-T6 aluminum, then hardcoat anodized per MIL-A-8625 Type III, Class 1 — our Storz couplings have no peer.
Review our quality, then insist on the best — Storz couplings from Red Head Brass.
Storz tail piece and collars are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum seamless extrusions.
Meets ASTM B221 requirements.
High quality molded Storz gaskets made using Buna-N material — resistant to most oils, gasoline, acids and greases.
Storz Heads up to 6" are forged 6061-T6 aluminum to Spec. SAE-AMS-QQ-A-367 & ASTM B247. Complies with DIN standards.
All collars are assembled with 3/8-16 socket head cap screw made of a high tensile alloy to ASTM A574 with a Zinc Yellow Dihchromate coating to QQ-Z-325, Type II.
Lock Lever is an investment casting of 304 stainless steel ASTM A743. Lock Lever Spring is 316 stainless wire passivated AISI 316. Lock lever mounted with 18-8 stainless steel shoulder bolt.
All aluminum components are Hardcoat Anodized per MIL-A-8625 Type III, Class 1. Permanent part identification stamped or forged prior to hardcoat.
