Double Jacket Fire Hose 2" Inch Quick Connect Camlock The 2" double jacket fire hose can be used with any 2 inch quick connect camlock setups. These usually include pumps, outlets, and valves equipped with 2" camlock male or female fittings. All camlocks are interchangeable therefore the brand names don't need to match. These hoses are well suited for for irrigation, industrial wash down, and general water pumping applications where high water pressures of 250 psi or less are needed. Camlock fire hoses are not rated for firefighting. They are built for industrial users who need heavy duty hose materials. Specifications: Working Pressure - 400 psi Hose Test Pressure - 800 psi Hose Burst Pressure - 1200 psi Inside Diameter - 2" Inches Lay Flat Width - About 3-1/4" Inches Length - 25 Feet / 50 Feet / 75 Feet / 100 Feet Couplings - Choose 2" Male & Female , Female & Female, or Male & Male Aluminum Camlocks. Material - Treated Double Jacket Polyester Fire Hose Lining - Inside EPDM Black Rubber Color - White, Red, or Yellow Benefits Of Using 2" Inch Camlock Connectors & Fire Hoses: No more lengthy connecting times; quick connect camlocks take just seconds to attach and lock. You will be ready to pump in a fraction of the time. Easy lock and release; no special tools required to operate. Woven polyester hose materials never require drying and are immune to mildew and rot. Strong polyester materials give you the same feel and durability of a fire hose without the higher pressure ratings. No more cross threading; camlock adapters can't damaged through cross threading, leading to less headache in the long term. Handles standard high water pressures 400 psi or below so it will work with the majority of water transfer applications. Easy self installation: you don't need any special tools to re-couple camlocks. You just need the camlock adapters and standard hose clamps. Universal fittings: all quick connect camlock adapters will work together so long as the inside diameter is matching. Polyester Is The Best Woven Materials For Discharge Hoses Woven hose materials are the best way to go because it's strong and long lasting, and lightweight enough to haul around. It has a far higher PSI rating than plastic PVC hose. The inside rubber lined ensures this hose is resistant to holes, tears, and abrasion. Hose is immune to mildew and does not require drying. 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. How Should I Use This Hose? Push the ears forward on the female side fitting. Make sure the inside of the fitting is clear of dirt and debris. Insert the male fitting into the female fitting Pull the ears back and apply pressure to lock down the ears. When the ears can't go down any further, you're locked. To release the fittings, pull the ears forward and pull the fitting out. Camlock Connectors Are Also Known As: Quick Release Hydraulic Couplings Quick Connect Camlocks Quick Disconnect Fittings Camlock Hose Shanks & Barbs Quick Hose Shanks & Barbs Camlock Fittings Are Time Savers: Camlock & Groove Couplings are probably the world’s most commonly used quick connect couplings because of the great variety of applications. This can be best illustrated by looking at a few uses within a typical petrochemical process plant. Here's a few processes: Solids - Aluminum couplings can be used to join piping carrying solids, powders or pellets. The system can then be easily disconnected if blockages occur. Tablet Presses - For hygienic applications, couplings can be electropolished and fitted with food quality seals. The seals can easily be removed for steam cleaning. Process - couplings are particularly effective in the rapid changing of lines to mixing vessels in pilot plants, saving time compared with flanged or threaded fittings. Storage - Cam & Groove couplings are a standard option on IBC containers to allow rapid filling and emptying even with aggressive chemicals. Stainless Steel or polypropylene couplings are resistant to most acids and corrosive solvents.
