Patented Quick-Connect Fittings That Save Time, Property, and Lives
When every second matters, Hy-Conn delivers. Our American-made, quick-connect fittings were engineered by a firefighter who saw firsthand how slow connections cost precious minutes—and lives. Designed to attach instantly to threaded hydrants, hoses, and water transfer systems, Hy-Conn fittings eliminate delays in firefighting, industrial operations, military bases, and municipalities across the globe.
Whether you’re battling a structure fire, flushing a city water system, or operating in high-pressure industrial environments, Hy-Conn’s technology is built to perform, built to last, and built right here in Arkansas. When reliability, speed, and precision can’t be compromised—Hy-Conn is the name trusted by thousands of departments and crews worldwide.
Connect Hose to Hydrant in 3 seconds

FIELD-TESTED GEAR
Designed by a Firefighter.
Backed by Engineering.
Built to Win.
Hy-Conn was born out of necessity in rural Hot Springs, Arkansas. Jeff Stroope, a CNC machinist and volunteer firefighter since 1992, saw the urgent need for a faster way to connect hoses to hydrants—especially in areas without infrastructure. Tanker trucks were slow. Water shuttles lost time. And the standard tools firefighters used were clunky and outdated.
Jeff applied his background in mechanical design and machining to invent a better solution—one that saves time in the moments that matter most. After years of development, testing, and refinement, Hy-Conn released its first models to the field and appeared on national television with Shark Tank in 2012. Rather than outsource manufacturing, Hy-Conn kept everything in-house to preserve the quality, control, and trust that U.S.-based crews depend on.
The Gold Standard in Hydrant Connector Technology
Hy-Conn fittings are unlike anything else on the market. While other manufacturers offer similar products, none offer our patented, thread-compatible quick connection system that locks in seconds without the need for tools. Firefighters, city workers, and industrial crews can connect or disconnect lines fast, even under stress.
We support more than 300 thread types in the U.S. alone, with custom-machined options available for departments with unique specs. This precision, combined with our 3-year limited warranty and personalized support, has made Hy-Conn a preferred choice for fire departments, oil and gas operators, military installations, and water utility teams across the world.
