JACKETS

The inner hose jacket alone shall be a NFPA compliant Attack hose,

made with 100% fi lament polyester warp and weft yarn. The outer

jacket shall be made with virgin spun polyester warp yarn and a

minimum of 10 fi lament polyester weft yarn picks per inch (394 per

Meter). The jacket shall have two 5/8” (16 mm) wide red stripes, ¼”

(6 mm) apart, running the full length of the jacket. The outer jacket

shall be impregnated in one of the standard NFPA colors with high

performance polymeric dispersion.

LINING

The lining (waterway) must be made from polyurethane and must be

applied using a fused process that welds the polyurethane directly to

the textile while the hose is being woven, without the use of adhesives

or hot melt. The fused lining process must create a virtually inseparable

unit without the use of adhesives, yielding an extremely low friction

(pressure) loss by fi lling in the corrugations of the weave, creating an

ultra thin and smooth waterway. Fire hose made using adhesives of

any type do not meet this specifi cation. The lining shall be approved

for use with potable water.

ADHESION

The adhesion shall be such that the rate of separation of a 1 ½” / 38mm

strip of polyurethane, transversely cut, shall not be greater than 1/4”

/ 6mm per minute under a weight of 12 lbs / 5.5 kg.

COLD TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY

The hose must remain fl exible to -65°F (-55°C)

FLOW AND FRICTION LOSS

1 ¾ inch (44mm) diameter @ 100 US GPM (379 LPM), shall not exceed

6.9 PSI (48 kPa) loss per 100 feet (30.5 M)

SERVICE, TEST, BURST PRESSURES

Minimum service, test and burst pressures shall be as detailed in the

specifi cation table on the previous page.

KINK TEST

HIGH PRESSURE: A full length shall withstand, without damage, a

hydrostatic pressure of 600 psi / 4140 kPa while kinked.

LOW PRESSURE: For sizes up to 2 1/2” / 64mm, the hose shall not

kink when formed into a 25” / 64 cm wide loop (outside measure) at

60 psi / 415 kPa internal water pressure.

For 3” / 76mm size, the hose shall not kink when formed into a 36”

/ 91 cm wide loop (outside measure) at 60 psi / 415 kPa internal

water pressure.

WEIGHT

Each length of fi re hose shall not weigh more than indicated in the

specifi cation table.

COUPLING SPECIFICATIONS

The female coupling shall have at least 3 refl ective arrows, in order to be

visible from any position. The refl ective arrows must be engraved into

and below the surface of the coupling, to resist abrasion. The arrows must

point in the direction of the water source for a standard hose connection.

The male coupling and female swivel nut must both have a recessed

area to facilitate color and bar coding and/or identifi cation markings.

MANUFACTURE

Both hose and couplings must be manufactured in North America and

be NAFTA compliant.

STANDARDS

Hose must be UL approved in all sized and UL labeled when requested.

WARRANTY

The fi re hose shall have a 2-10-L warranty, as described below.

“2” denotes Two year “all hazards” warranty against any damage

incurred during fi re fi ghting applications

“10” denotes Ten year warranty against manufacturing defects

“L” denotes Lifetime warranty against liner delamination

HOW TOSPECIFY

THE HOSE SHALL BE DOUBLE JACKETWITH A SERVICE TEST PRESSUREOF 400 PSI / 2755 KPA.
