Scale Jail

The Scale Jail is a diffuser built specifically for fire sprinkler technicians and contractors when servicing a sprinkler system. This diffuser will prevent erosion to grass and landscaping when draining a system or conducting a 2" main drain flow test. The inlet has a 2-1/2" NH/NST female swivel so a standard fire hose can be connected for fire hydrant flushing as well.

If conducting a standard 2" main drain test, add a 2-1/2" NH male x 2" female NPSH threaded adapter. Then connect a 2" NPSH fire hose from your 2" 45-degree discharge fitting to the adapter so you can safely discharge and diffuse the water flow.
