Fire Hose
Our marine fire hose is a large, flexible tube used to carry water or other fire-suppressing substances to extinguish fires. Fire Hose is typically made of durable materials like rubber or synthetic fabrics and is designed to withstand high pressure. Fire hoses are connected to fire trucks or hydrants and can range in size depending on the application, with some designed for industrial use and others for residential firefighting. The nozzle at the end of the hose allows for controlling the flow and direction of water.
Features of Marine Fire Hoses:
Fire Hoses are typically constructed from materials resistant to corrosion, such as rubber and synthetic fabrics. This ensures that the hoses can withstand the harsh marine environment, especially the corrosive effects of saltwater.
Fire Hoses are designed to handle high-pressure water flow, typically around 8-12 bars (116-174 psi), but some hoses can handle even higher pressures depending on the vessel's firefighting system. Fire hoses are made to be durable enough to withstand rough handling and extreme conditions, yet flexible enough for easy storage and deployment during an emergency.
The length of the Fire Hose can vary, but they are usually available in 25 to 50-meter lengths for effective coverage across the ship. They are often stored on reels for easy deployment. Marine Fire Hoses use specialized couplings and nozzles that are designed to handle high-flow rates and provide versatile water streams, such as fog, jet, or spray patterns, depending on the type of fire.
Rubber-lined Hoses are used for general fire-fighting and suitable for high-pressure, Composite Hoses Made with a combination of materials, often with a synthetic cover for flexibility and durability in marine environments, Jacketed Hoses are made with a woven jacket (usually polyester) for added strength and abrasion resistance, with a rubber lining for sealing against water leakage.
