Fire hose is one of the most important tools used by the fire department. As such, the following specification must be strictly adhered to unless the proposed specification exceeds specification listed. Only the fire department can determine if a proposed product meets and exceeds these specifications.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION:

NFPAISO Standard: The hose must meet all the requirements of NFPA 1961, Standard on Fire Hose (Current Edition). The manufacturer of the hose shall be ISO 9001-2008 quality certified.

Jackets: The jackets shall be evenly and firmly woven, free from unsightly defects, dirt, knots, lumps, and irregularities of twist that might affect the serviceability of the finished product. Each jacket shall be seamless and shall have polyester filler yarns woven around the hose throughout its length, with the warp ends interwoven with the warp yarn covering the filler yarns.

Warp ends of both the inner and outer jackets shall be high-tenacity filament polyester developed, designed and processed for the fire hose jacket filler yarns. The use of any warp yarns of filament or entangled construction is expressly forbidden.

Filler yarns of both the inner and outer jackets shall be high-tenacity filament polyester developed, designed, and processed for fire hose jacket filler yarns. These filament polyester yarns shall be free from defects that are unsightly or may affect the serviceability of the finished hose. The staple polyester warp ends must completely cover and protect the filament polyester filler yarns. The inner jacket shall be woven with a reverse twill weave to provide a smoother waterway.

Wear Guard: When specified, is a treatment for maximum abrasion resistance. This is a specially developed impregnated coating with a built in flame retardant. Wear Guard is applied to the outer jacket by a mechanical process which increases abrasion resistance by 6 times over standard impregnation. It greatly increases heat and flame resistance, almost eliminates water pickup and adds superb resistance to petro chemicals and displays extreme resistance to bacterial and mildew growth. Wear Guard Colors Red, Yellow, Tan, Orange, Blue, Forest Green.

Lining: The thermoplastic lining shall be a single ply extrusion of thermo-polyurethane polymer which naturally resists hydrolysis, ozone, and oxidation. Natural or synthetic rubber is Not Acceptable. The surface must be smooth and free from corrugations. No reclaimed material or through the weave extrusion lining shall be used. The lining material shall meet the requirements of the National Sanitation Foundation Standard 61 for potable water use. The lining thickness shall be tightly controlled to reduce weight, compactness and kink radius.

Ozone resistance: Lining specimens shall be subjected to ASTM D 1149-91, Standard Test Method for Rubber Deterioration- Surface Ozone Cracking in a Chamber.

STATEMENT: FireQuip Full Flow is a tough heavy duty hose but lightweight that provides very low friction loss with maximum flow. It is manufactured with 100% tightly woven polyester yarn making it tough and abrasion resistant. The special lining process that welds the lining directly to the yarn while being woven creates an inseparable bond without adhesives. The waterway is smooth, filling in the corrugations of the weave, which results in low friction loss, with more water to the fire at lower pump pressure. Full Flow is light and compact but yet extremely heavy duty. FireQuip Full Flow puts greater volumes of water to the fire without over-working the firefighter or the fire engine.

The Quick One

The hose that must be relied upon for fast and reliable fire attack before the small localized fire can grow out of control. Firefighters demand performance the first time and every time.

Pressure Contraction and Elongation When pressurized, a poorly constructed hose may contract or elongate. This can endanger a firefighter in a high place or in a tight spot. It can also damage equipment such as hose reels which can actually be crushed. FireQuip Booster Hose is made with precision reinforcement angles to control length change under pressure to avoid these problems.

Durable, Bright Red Cover It looks good and lasts longer for overall better cost effectiveness and reliability. The cover shall be EPDM rubber, which resists abrasion, gouging, ultra-violet, ozone aging and heat.

Long Lengths Firequip Fire Engine Booster Hose is produced in continuous lengths of 200 feet for 1 inch hose and 300 feet for inch. This reduces the number of coupling connectors required, reducing cost and increasing hose integrity.

Full 4:1 Safety Factor You must require a 4:1 safety factor for your booster hose to insure safety and reliability. This means 800 Booster Hose must be rated for 3200 minimum burst pressure. A lesser grade hose cannot be relied upon to handle pressure surges, end pull, kinking and other abuse, coupling retention and aging.

Meets UL 92 Design and Performance Criteria Firequip Fire Engine Booster Hose meets or exceeds the requirements listed in UL 92 specification for 800 PSI Booster Hose. The manufacturer shall be ISO 9001-2008 Quality Certified.
