a
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.
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.
