High Flow Fire Hoses

Applications:

Optimum for tank truck, bulk petroleum stations, large flow monitor & in Plant oil service

Hoses are 100% polyester, double jacket. Hoses with a service test pressure rating of 300 PSI (2100 KPa). Compared to traditional rubber LDH; the hose is lighter in weight, more compact, flexible to ‐60°F (‐51°C), more Abrasion and puncture resistant, and can be loaded without hanging to dry. The hose is also used as a suction hose in shorter lengths. The ENCAP™ treated outer jacket improves durability, reduces water absorb on up to 40%, enhances chemical resistance and adds color options. Construction: Circular woven, double jacket 100% virgin spun polyester. Tube: Extruded T.P.U. elastomer ‐ Ozone and age resistant. Standard Lengths: 50' and 100' (15.2 and 30.5 m) Colors available: Clear (white), green, red, orange, blue, purple, tan, and yellow.

·         The hose is of double jacket construction with 100% virgin spun polyester yarn in both jackets.

·         For the 4" (102 mm) hose, there shall be a minimum of 13.0 filler yarns per inch in the inner jacket and 10.5 filler yarns per inch in the outer jacket. For the 5" (127 mm) hose, there shall be a minimum of 14.0 filler yarns per inch in the inner jacket and 10.0 filler yarns per inch in the outer jacket.

·         The thickness of the lining shall be 0.020" (508 μm) minimum and it shall be constructed of extruded T.P.U. elastomer.

·         The outside jacket shall be treated with ENCAPTM elastomer, which shall completely encapsulate the jacket fibers and not merely surface coat the jacket.

·         The hose service temperature range shall be 60°F to 150°F (51°C to 66°C).

·         FM abrasion test of 50,000 cycles minimum and Taber abrasion test of 15,000 cycles minimum.

·         At 600 PSI (4200 KPa), its elongation shall not exceed 10% of the initial hose length, it shall not warp more than 12 inches (31 cm) and should not rise from the test table.

·         The hose shall not twist more than 1 1/2 turn per 100 (30.5 m) while at 600 PSI (4200 KPa).

·         Minimum service test pressure of 300 PSI (2100 KPa).

·         Minimum proof test pressure of 600 PSI (4200 KPa).

·         Minimum straight burst test pressure of 900 PSI (6300 KPa).

·         The hose while curved to a radius of 27" (69 cm) shall not burst at less than 900 PSI (6300 KPa).

 

·         Meets or exceeds ULC19 and NFPA 1961.
