Because of the special purpose, the choice of fire hose has become a top priority for firefighters, so it is very important to understand the difference between them before purchasing.
Fire hoses are often used to transport water to prevent the spread of fire and extinguish the flames.Attack fire hoses deliver water to the fire scene through fire pumps.
Fire hose materials
The rubber covered fire hose from QRFS are manufactured from a synthetic nitrile rubber and are resistant to fuels, chemicals, oils, environmental pollutants, mold, mildew, and extreme temperatures.
Single Jacket fire hose have a layer of polyester “jacketed” around the interior rubber. The models available from QRFS are made from both staple and filament polyester, woven in both warp and weft direction.
Warp fibers are lengthwise fibers that are stretched under tension, whereas weft fibers are woven crosswise under no tension to add strength and structure to the weave. The polyester itself as well as the weave are resistant to ozone, heat, and weathering.
Our double jacket fire hoses are also made from both staple and filament polyester, woven in both warp and weft direction. These hoses have more resistance to the elements than single jacket hose, as they have that extra layer of polyester jacket.
