What Makes a High-Performance Fire Fighting Hose?
Material & Construction
Rubber-Lined Hoses: Best for durability and abrasion resistance—ideal for structural firefighting.
Thermoplastic Hoses: Lightweight and flexible, perfect for rapid deployment.
Jacket Reinforcement: High-tensile synthetic fibers (like polyester or aramid) prevent bursting under pressure.
Pressure Rating
Low-Pressure (150–300 PSI): Suitable for small fires, brush trucks, and forestry.
High-Pressure (300–600 PSI): Essential for industrial and municipal firefighting.
Temperature Resistance
A top-tier hose should withstand:
-30°C to +150°C (for freezing winters and intense heat).
Certifications
Always check for:
✔ NFPA 1961 (U.S. Standard)
✔ EN 694 (European Standard)
✔ ISO 6806 (International Testing)
