Description
A fire hose is a high pressure hose used to carry water or other fire retardant (such as foam) to a fire to extinguish it. Outdoors, it is attached either to a fire engine or a fire hydrant. Indoors, it can be permanently attached to a building’s standpipe or plumbing system Delivery hose is laid down from the delivery side of the pump (outlet), and the water passing through it is always at a pressure greater than that of the atmosphere. Delivery hose is divided into two categories: percolating hose, and non-percolating hose The Brigadier Type 3 layflat fire hose is principally used in the firefighting industry. However it is a multipurpose hose also commonly used within the shipboard and marine industry, on refineries and construction sites, in agriculture and irrigation, general industrial use and for all wash-down applications.
