JACKETS:
The jacket shall be made with virgin spun polyester warp yarn and a filament polyester weft yarn and shall have a minimum filler (weft) yarns of 10.4 per inch (409 per Meter). When requested the jacket shall be impregnated in one of the standard NFPA colors with high performance polymeric dispersion.

LINING:
The lining (waterway) must be made from polyurethane and must be 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 fi lling 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 specifi cation. The lining shall be approved for use with potable water.

ADHESION:
The adhesion shall be such that the rate of separation of a 1 ½” / 38mm strip of polyurethane, transversely cut, shall not be greater than 1/4” / 6mm per minute under a weight of 12 lbs / 5.5 kg.

SERVICE, TEST, BURST PRESSURES:
Minimum service, test and burst pressures shall be as detailed in the specification table above.

FLOW AND FRICTION LOSS:
The 1 ½” (38 mm) hose shall be capable of flowing 70 US GPM (264 LPM) with a maximum pressure loss of 10 PSIG (69 kPa) per 100’ (30.5M).
  KINK TEST:
A full length will withstand a hydrostatic pressure of 600 psi / 4140 kPa while kinked.
 
COUPLING SPECIFICATIONS:
Couplings shall be in conformance with the current NFPA standard and made of extruded aluminum, hard coated a minimum of .002” thick. They shall be manufactured in North America and permanently labeled with country of origin. The hose shall be available with threaded and quarter-turn threadless (QC) couplings. When quarter-turn threadless (QC) couplings are specifi ed they shall have extended lugs to facilitate repid connect and disconnect.
 
MANUFACTURE:
Both hose and couplings are manufactured in North America and are NAFTA compliant.
 
STANDARDS:
Fire hose manufactured to this specifi cation shall meet or exceed all performance requirements of U.S.D.A. spec 5100-187C Type II for 1” (25mm) and 1 ½” (38mm), when coated. Fire hose manufactured to this specifi cation shall meet & exceed all performance requirements of NFPA 1961, Underwriter’s Laboratories & Factory Mutual.
