When it comes to safety, reliability and rapid response, fire hose assemblies are an essential part of any firefighting or water transfer system. We supply a comprehensive range of high-performance fire hoses, each designed to deliver dependable flow and withstand the demanding pressures and temperatures often encountered in emergency and industrial environments.
Key Features & Benefits
High Pressure Capability: Designed to handle working pressures of up to 40 bar (depending on model), providing a reliable supply under critical conditions.
Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-tenacity polyester yarn with inner linings of rubber or synthetic materials such as SBR or NBR, offering exceptional flexibility and resistance to abrasion and weathering.
Temperature Performance: Suitable for use across a wide temperature range - typically from -30°C to +80°C, ensuring consistent performance in challenging climates.
Secure Connections: Each hose assembly is supplied with robust couplings such as BS336 instantaneous fittings, wire-whipped for additional safety and long service life.
Compliance & Quality: Manufactured to recognised standards such as BS 6391 Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3, depending on the product type and intended use.
Typical Applications
Fire hose assemblies are used in a wide variety of settings where reliable water delivery is critical:
Municipal and industrial fire brigades for firefighting and emergency response
Marine and offshore environments for deck wash-down and safety systems
Agriculture and irrigation for high-volume water transfer
Construction and civil engineering for site wash-down, dust suppression and water pumping
General industrial use where durable, flexible hoses are required to handle large water volumes
Choosing the Right Fire Hose Assembly
Selecting the correct fire hose depends on the environment, pressure requirements, and connection type:
Material: Coated polyester hoses offer enhanced resistance to dirt, oil and UV exposure - ideal for outdoor or industrial use - while uncoated hoses remain lightweight and easy to handle.
Temperature Range: Consider your operating environment - SBR-lined hoses perform well in standard conditions, whereas NBR linings provide improved resistance to heat and chemicals.
Fittings: BS336 instantaneous couplings are the standard for fire and rescue operations, while threaded or flanged options are preferred in fixed installations or industrial systems.
Length and Diameter: Larger diameters allow higher flow rates, suitable for hydrant connections or deluge systems, whereas smaller sizes are better for hand-held or portable use.
