JACKET
The jacket is a tight twill weave with a minimum filler (weft) yarns of 12.2 per inch (480 per Meter). It is made with 100% high tenacity heavy duty polyester spun yarn to assure maximum strength to weight ratio and excellent abrasion resistance. The jacket is impregnated in Strobe Yellow color with high performance polymeric dispersion.

LINING
The lining (waterway) is made from polyurethane and is 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 filling 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 specification. The lining shall be approved for use with potable water.

COLD TEMPERATURE FLEXIBILITY
The hose has a temperature range of -60º F to160º F (-50º C to 71º C).

KINK TEST
The bend radius is less than 12.5” (32 cm) for a 1 ½ inch (38mm) hose and less than 15.0” (38cm) for a 2.0 inch (51mm) hose.
