Fire hose couplings are mission-critical components that connect fire hoses to hydrants, pumps, and nozzles in marine, industrial, and commercial fire protection systems. Non-compliant couplings can lead to water leakage, pressure loss, and even costly port detentions under international maritime regulations.
SSME-XF-17 series fire hose couplings are engineered to meet the strict requirements of the 1974 SOLAS Convention and Chinese national standards (GB 6246-2011, GB 8181-2005). Certified by CCS, MED, and EC, our couplings are trusted by shipyard operators, offshore project managers, and industrial facility owners worldwide. With a compact, leak-proof design and corrosion-resistant copper/aluminum alloy construction, they deliver stable water flow even in high-pressure and harsh marine environments.
Our couplings are designed to solve the most common pain points faced by marine safety professionals:
Eliminate port detention risks with full SOLAS compliance
Maintain consistent water pressure during emergency firefighting
Fit seamlessly with existing fire protection systems globally
Reduce long-term maintenance costs with durable construction

Non-compliant marine equipment is the top cause of port detentions, costing vessel owners up to $50,000 per day in lost revenue and fines. Our couplings are certified by CCS, MED, and EC, and fully aligned with SOLAS 74 requirements, ensuring acceptance at all major ports worldwide.
Engineered to withstand working pressures up to 1.6 MPa and tested to 2.4 MPa, our couplings maintain stable water flow even during the most intense firefighting operations. The precision-machined leak-proof design eliminates pressure loss, critical for controlling fires quickly and minimizing property damage.
Available in 5 international styles, our couplings are compatible with standard fire hoses, hydrants, and equipment from all major manufacturers. This makes them ideal for retrofitting existing systems or new shipyard installations, reducing installation time by up to 30%.
Manufactured from corrosion-resistant brass or aluminum alloy, our couplings are designed to withstand harsh marine environments including saltwater, high humidity, and extreme temperature fluctuations. Their anti-aging properties reduce wear and tear, extending service life and minimizing replacement costs over time.
We offer comprehensive customization options to meet the unique needs of shipyards, distributors, and large-scale project owners. With large production capacity, we can fulfill bulk orders on time, every time, ensuring your project stays on schedule.

A leading Singaporean shipyard upgraded their entire fleet of 27 cargo vessels' fire protection systems with SSME SOLAS-approved fire hose couplings. The quick-connect design reduced installation time by 32%, allowing the shipyard to complete the project ahead of schedule. The durable brass construction has resulted in zero failures in 6 years of operation, significantly reducing maintenance costs. The shipyard now standardizes on SSME couplings for all new vessel builds and retrofits.

Marine fire hose couplings must comply with the 1974 SOLAS Convention Chapter II-2, which requires them to be certified by an approved classification society (such as CCS) and able to withstand a minimum working pressure of 1.0 MPa.
The most common sizes for marine applications are DN50 (2") and DN65 (2.5"). DN40 (1.5") is typically used for smaller vessels or secondary fire systems. Our couplings are available in all three standard sizes.
Yes, our couplings are MED and EC certified, which means they are fully accepted in all European Union member states' ports and vessels.
Brass couplings offer superior corrosion resistance and durability, making them ideal for harsh marine environments. Aluminum couplings are lighter and more cost-effective, suitable for industrial and commercial applications where weight is a concern.
