Scope

Quality:

The fire hose assembly supplied under this spec-

ification shall be constructed with superior quality materi-

als. NFPA 1961 standards shall be observed in production

of the assembly, in order to ensure its quality and durability.

Service Life:

Hose furnished under these specifications

will have a potential service life

warranty

of not less than

five years;

barring mistreatment that would render it

unfit for service. Upon delivery, the hose shall be free from

defects in workmanship and materials. Any defective hose

will be replaced at no charge whatsoever.

a

Jacket Construction

The jackets will be woven evenly and be free of defects,

including knots, lumps, or unsightly disfigurations that

could jeopardize the integrity of the hose assembly. The

warp yarn shall consist of staple polyester yarn. The use of

filament or entangled yarn is expressly forbidden due to

the lack of inherent abrasion resistance. The filler yarns

shall be constructed of high strength, low elongation, fila-

ment polyester to reduce weight and increase flexibility.

a

Abrasion Impregnation

Hose assemblies are available with polymer impregnation

that provide additional abrasion resistance. Colors include:

yellow, orange, red, tan, black, blue and green. Color shall

be pure and even in each hose. Impregnated hose shall meet

the requirements of Mil-H-24606B for abrasion resistance.

a

Lining

The rubber lining shall be a single-ply extruded tube of

synthetic EPDM compounded to resist ozone. The fin-

ished form shall be free of pits or other imperfections and

have a smooth finish. No reclaimed rubber shall be used.

Plastic tubes that sacrifice durability of the hose life for the

sake of weight are not acceptable.

Backing:

The backing shall be of adequate thickness to

create a smooth waterway but not greater than .020. The

fire hose constructed under this specification shall be man-

ufactured fully backed.

Tensile Strength & Ultimate Elongation:

Shall

meet the standards of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc.

TM

as

well as all other properties of UL-19 for rubber lined hoses.

A valid U.S. Underwriters inspection procedure shall be

in force at the time of bid.
