HFX -
Type HFX
Extruded Nitrile Rubber Attack/Supply Hose
Snap-tite HFX is a nitrile thru-the-weave, rubber covered fire hose that utilizes both
polyester and nylon yarn in the reinforcing jacket. Under pressure, the polyester
keeps the hose from “snaking” where the nylon allows for controlled dilation, reducing
friction loss and generating higher flow rates. Our special rubber compound provides
a tough cover that resists heat, abrasion, snags, and hot embers.
HFX’s unique extruded thru-the-weave construction provides a flexible, easy
to maneuver hose that is easy to pack. The interlocking matrix also means no
adhesives are used and there is a permanent bond to all the warp and weft yarns.
Properties and Construction
• HFX is an extruded thru-the-weave, nitrile rubber fire hose. The reinforcement
is made with a blend of circular woven, twill weave, polyester and nylon fibers.
• The ribs on the cover surface greatly increase abrasion resistance and help
provide a long service life.
• Highly resistant to both contact and radiant heat.
• Hose remains flexible to temperatures as low as -5°F (-20°C) and is resistant
to ozone, oxidation, and most chemicals or petroleum products.
• Engineered for attack, supply, suction and relay applications.
• Snap-tite HFX is manufactured in accordance with NFPA standard 1961, latest
edition within our ISO-9001: 2000 certified quality assurance system.
