1、Designation: F1121 87 (Reapproved 2015) An American National StandardStandard Specification forInternational Shore Connections for Marine FireApplications1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1121; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoptio
2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers the design and manufacture ofinternational shore
3、connections to be used with marine firefighting systems during an emergency when a stricken ship hasa system failure.1.2 International shore connections are portable universalcouplings that permit connection of shipboard firemain systemsbetween one ship and another or between a shore facility anda s
4、hip when their respective system threading is mismatched.Both the ship and the facility are expected to have a fitting suchthat in an emergency can be attached to their respective firehose and bolted together to permit charging the ships system.It must be portable to accommodate hose to hose connect
5、ionand allow assistance from any position.1.3 The international shore connection is required by inter-national treaty2,3to be carried onboard all passenger and cargovessels of 500 gross tons or more, regardless of firemain size,engaged in international voyages, and is recommended for allvessels that
6、 would be expected to render assistance. It is alsointended to be provided at shore facilities that would be used tosupply water to a ships firemain system.1.4 Fabrication either on board a vessel, in a shipyard, orother shore facility is not precluded by this specification.1.5 The values stated in
7、inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.2. Ordering Information2.1 The purchase order or inquiry for an international shoreconnection shall include th
