    Yes these fire water connections are quite interesting. I got one that looks like a multi headed monster somewhere among my thousands of photos. Gonna dig it out for you :)

    this is actually a siamese connection for the fire hoses. O S & Y is outside screw and yoke but is a gate vlave usually located on the fireline backflow preventer that looks like a steering wheel.
