Things to consider when specifying your fire hose:

When specifying your fire hose, it's important to consider several key factors to ensure optimal performance. A synthetic fibre-reinforced fire hose offers enhanced working pressure, making it ideal for demanding applications.

Depending on your requirements, you may choose a high-pressure red fire hose designed for intense high working pressure scenarios or a low-pressure blue fire hose, each designed for specific applications. Additionally, our fire hose range comes with an option of a Nitrile/TPR liner which provides some protection against oil and chemical contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

 

What is the average size of a fire hose?

The three standard sizes of fire hose are 1½, 1¾ and 2½ inches. Depending on the size and severity of the fire, fire hose line requirements vary. Selecting an incorrect fire hose can cause delays in fire suppression and exhaustion.

How much pressure is in a fire hose?

Generally, each fire department determines what it considers to be a manageable hoseline. Some may consider it a hoseline with a pump pressure of 160 psi or less while another may be comfortable with 185 psi or less. Each of these characteristics will impact the effective working length of the hoseline. This is the same for fire hose and fire pipes used in the industrial and commercial sectors.

Why are fire hoses flat?

Most fire hose are designed to be stored flat to minimise the space required for storage.
