Description
Designed for rapid response in high-pressure fire and industrial applications, this 2½" wire whipped hose is built to meet BS 6391 Type 2 standards. Its robust construction features a durable polyester jacket and a smooth, bonded rubber lining, providing consistent flow with low friction loss.
The wire whipping method secures the BS 336 instantaneous male and female couplings, offering added reinforcement and safety in high-demand environments. Its coated exterior improves resistance to dirt, weathering, oil, fuel, and chemicals, making it well-suited for both municipal and industrial fire brigades, marine operations, agriculture, and construction.
With high flexibility, ease of cleaning, and minimal maintenance requirements, this compact hose is ideal for tight spaces or as part of a modular firefighting system.
