Lightweight 1-1/2” fire hose designed for fast acting situations Forestry fire hoses are lightweight with a PU liner to make them easier to maneuver in outdoor forestry situations. Benefits: High pressure 300psi service rating and lightweight single jacket construction lead to a higher performing hose. Can easily be attached to 1-1/2" outlets such as pumps, hydrants, valves, PVC pipes with standard pipe threads (NH/NST/IPT/NPSH/NPT/NPSM). Aluminum couplings are three times stronger than brass and weigh less. Move faster in demanding situations. Lightweight, extremely flexible and easy to pack Excellent heat, abrasion and puncture resistance Manufactured in accordance with NFPA 1961 Meets USDA-US Forestry Service Specification 5100-187 Type 2 Maintenance free, requires no drying and is mildew resistant Can be run over with large trucks without bursting - even while pressurized. Strong inside rubber lining leads to less friction loss and more water flow. Operate in extreme temperatures without worry -40 degrees F to 180 degrees F. Features: Warranty - 5 Year Service Life Service Pressure - 300 psi Test Pressure - 600 psi Burst Pressure - 900 psi Inside Diameter - 1-1/2" Inches Lay Flat Width - About 2-3/4” Inches Length - 50 Feet - 100 Feet Approx. Coupled Weight - 50 Feet (9.5 lbs) / 100 Feet (14.5 lbs) Couplings - NH / NST (Fire Hose Threads) or IPT / NPSH (Straight Pipe Threads) Material - Single Jacket Polyester Lining - Polyurethane Color - Yellow Usually these single jacket fire hoses are kept on hand in municipal & forestry departments or construction sites for heavy duty jobs. Structural firefighters typically choose larger double jacket hoses for firefighting for the added durability and longer lifespan. But these wildland hoses are the best choice if you need high flexibility and speed in hectic brushed situations. The type II hoses are designed to be hauled off in your carrying packs when you're running toward the action. Uses: Fire Departments Heavy Duty Industrial Projects General Water Pumping Agricultural / Irrigation Wash Down Fire Hydrants Sump & Trash Pumps Valves & Standpipes If you're moving these hoses around day to day, 50 foot lengths are the best way to go. They are lightweight enough to carry around and roll up. For applications where you set the hoses for extended periods of time, the 100 foot lengths are more economical. Will This Hose Fit My Outlet? Which Connectors Do I need? At the top of the page you need to select which style of fittings you need. What are NH/NST Fittings?
