Description
1-1/2" Red Nitrile/PVC Fire Hose Assembly with Hardcoat Aluminum NPSH Couplings
The 1-1/2" Red Nitrile/PVC Fire Hose Assembly is a premium-duty lay-flat fire hose engineered for municipal fire departments, industrial facilities, petrochemical plants, and forestry operations. Manufactured using Armtex Jafrib® through-the-weave construction, this hose features a nitrile/PVC blend that completely encapsulates the reinforcement jacket, creating a rugged "solid wall" hose that delivers outstanding durability, flexibility, and resistance to harsh operating conditions.
Unlike conventional fabric-jacketed fire hoses, the nitrile/PVC compound is permanently bonded through the woven reinforcement, providing superior resistance to abrasion, oil, chemicals, weathering, and ozone while remaining lightweight and easy to deploy.
Each hose assembly is fitted with 1-1/2" hardcoat aluminum NPSH threaded couplings, including one male and one female swivel connection. These lightweight, corrosion-resistant couplings provide secure connections to pumps, hydrants, nozzles, and other standard firefighting equipment while reducing overall hose weight.
Certified to UL 19, ULC S511-14, and manufactured to meet the requirements of NFPA 1961 (2020 Edition), this heavy-duty fire hose is built for reliable performance in both emergency response and industrial service applications.
