Hydrant nozzle cap adapter

A nozzle cap assembly comprising:

• a nozzle cap comprising an outer housing and an inner housing;
• and
• a nozzle cap adapter coupled to the inner housing, the nozzle cap adapter comprising:
• an adapter ring defining an interior void;
• a nozzle connector extending from the adapter ring, the nozzle connector configured to engage a fire hydrant nozzle;
• a gasket housing extending into the interior void and defining a gasket groove;
• and
• a gasket disposed within the gasket groove and configured to abut an end of the fire hydrant nozzle;
• wherein:
• the inner housing defines a secondary mounting leg extending into the interior void of the adapter ring;
• the secondary mounting leg defines a secondary mounting leg hole;
• the gasket housing defines a gasket housing hole aligned with the secondary mounting leg hole;
• and
• a gasket housing fastener extends through the gasket housing hole and into the secondary mounting leg hole to couple the gasket housing and the adapter ring to the inner housing.

A nozzle cap adapter comprising:

• an adapter ring defining a first adapter ring end, a second adapter ring end opposite the first adapter ring end, and an interior void extending from the first adapter ring end to the second adapter ring end;
• a nozzle connector extending from the second adapter ring end of the adapter ring, the nozzle connector configured to rotatably engage a fire hydrant nozzle;
• and
• a latch coupled to the adapter ring and configured to removably lock the nozzle cap adapter onto the fire hydrant nozzle;
• a gasket housing extending into the interior void and defining a gasket groove, the gasket groove facing in a direction extending towards the second adapter ring end;
• and
• a gasket disposed within the gasket groove and configured to abut an end of the fire hydrant nozzle;
• wherein:
• the adapter ring comprises a first adapter segment and a second adapter segment;
• the first adapter segment is coupled to the second adapter segment by a first adapter segment fastener;
• each of the first adapter segment and the second adapter segment define a first adapter segment circumferential end and a second adapter segment circumferential end;
• a first fastener block is formed at each of the first adapter segment circumferential ends;
• a second fastener block is formed at each of the second adapter segment circumferential ends;
• a first adapter segment fastener engages each of the first fastener blocks to couple the first adapter segment circumferential ends together;
• and
• a second adapter segment fastener engages each of the second fastener blocks to couple the second adapter segment circumferential ends together.

A nozzle cap assembly comprising:

• a nozzle cap comprising an outer housing and an inner housing;
• a nozzle cap adapter coupled to the inner housing, the nozzle cap adapter comprising:
• an adapter ring defining an interior void;
• a nozzle connector extending from the adapter ring, the nozzle connector configured to engage a fire hydrant nozzle;
• a gasket housing extending into the interior void and defining a gasket groove;
• and
• a gasket disposed within the gasket groove and configured to abut an end of the fire hydrant nozzle;
• and
• a latch coupled to the adapter ring and configured to removably lock the nozzle cap adapter onto the fire hydrant nozzle;
• wherein:
• the adapter ring defines outer adapter ring surface and an inner adapter ring surface;
• the inner adapter ring surface defines the interior void;
• a latch alcove extends into the outer adapter ring surface;
• the latch is received within the latch alcove;
• the adapter ring defines a first adapter ring key hole;
• the inner housing defines a clearance hole aligned with first adapter ring key hole;
• and
• a latch fastener extends through the first adapter ring key hole in into the clearance hole.
