Double-Jacket Fire Hose, Natural Rubber Liner

The heavy-duty, double-jacket version of our rubber-lined industrial fire hose, for plants where hoses see high pressure and rough handling — process plants, refineries, mills and large warehouses. The natural rubber liner resists abrasion and heat and keeps flow steady; the second jacket raises pressure capacity and protects the hose when it is dragged.

Construction

• Liner: natural rubber (NR)
• Reinforcement: double woven polyester jacket
• Colour: white

Where it fits

• High-pressure plant fire water and hydrant systems
• Industrial fire teams working on rough ground
• Sites where a single-jacket hose wears out too quickly

Care and testing

• Lay the hose out without kinks before charging it, and open the hydrant or pump valve slowly to avoid pressure surge.
• Keep it away from hot surfaces, sharp edges and dragged loads; use hose bridges where vehicles cross.
• After use, drain it, wash off oil, foam concentrate and mud, and let the jacket dry before it is rolled or racked.
• Store it out of direct sunlight, away from chemicals and in a dry place, rolled or flaked as your equipment requires.
• Inspect the jacket, liner and coupling bands before use, and service-test hoses at the interval your fire code sets — annually is common practice.

How to order

Send the bore, the length per hose (fire hose is usually supplied in 15, 20, 25 or 30 m lengths), the couplings and the standard your site, insurer or authority requires. We confirm construction, pressure rating and compliance before quoting, and supply hoses coupled, banded and pressure tested on request.
