This non-collapsible rigid reel hose shall feature a spun polyester jacket with yellow treatment. It shall meet or exceed all performance requirements of nfpa 1961,  Underwriter’s Laboratories & Factory Mutual.
  Hose Construction:
The hose shall be of single jacket construction and use a monofilament interior reinforcement. The jacket shall be a tight twill weave with a minimum filler (weft) yarns of 13.3 per inch (525 per Meter). It shall be made with 100% high tenacity polyester spun yarn to assure maximum strength to weight ratio, and excellent abrasion resistance.

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 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.

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 ¼" / 6mm per minute under a weight of 12 lbs / 5.5 kg.

Cold Temperature Flexibility:
The hose shall have a temperature range of -60° F to 160° F (-50° C to 71° C).

Service, Test, Burst Pressures:
Minimum service, test and burst pressures shall be as detailed in the table above.

Weight:
Each length of fire hose shall not weigh more than indicated in table above

Maintenance:
The hose shall be available with Field Repairable Shank Coupling, Field Repairable Shank splice, and Factory Installed Compression Splice.

Manufacture:
Both hose and couplings must be manufactured in North America and be NAFTA compliant.
