- Kink Resistance: Survives 500 psi pressure while kinked without failure.
- Minimal Expansion: Circumference expansion limited to 8% between 10 and 800 psi.
- Impregnation Technology: Emulplast Polyseel coating triples abrasion resistance and enhances flame, mildew, and petrochemical resistance.
- Warranty: 10-year manufacturer warranty and lifetime warranty against tube delamination.
How is it used?
This hose is deployed in fire suppression scenarios, particularly where high-pressure nozzles are required. It connects to standard fire hydrants or pump systems and is used by firefighters to deliver water or foam to the fire source. Its flexibility and kink resistance make it ideal for rapid deployment and maneuvering in complex environments.
Who uses it?
Primarily used by municipal fire departments, industrial emergency response teams, and military firefighting units. It’s suitable for professionals who require reliable, high-performance hose systems in demanding conditions.
Maintenance information
Routine inspection is recommended after each use. Check for signs of wear, abrasion, or damage to the jacket and couplings. Clean with mild detergent and water; avoid harsh chemicals. Store dry and loosely coiled to prevent kinks. Increased washing does not compromise durability due to the high-tenacity polyester and EPDM lining.
Storage information
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and chemicals. Avoid stacking heavy objects on the hose. Use hose racks or reels to maintain shape and prevent warping. Ensure the hose is completely dry before storage to prevent mildew growth.
