Water Master 6 Metre Starter Fire Hose Fittings and Kit (includes 4 metres of suction hose) This fire hose kit with all the fittings is ideally suited to a small bushfire fighting unit mounted on a trailer or vehicle. Suitable for use in Australia. It provides you with the ability to deploy when the going gets challenging quickly. Furthermore, this fire hose is long enough to reach right around a vehicle. They allow the operator to dismount and blackout the fire edge while the driver safely moves the car. You can place a suction hose and filter into the vehicle water tank or in a dam or other static water supply to refill the vehicle-mounted water tank. Features: Sturdy construction 1 x 6-metre delivery hose 1 x 3/4 “ BSP coupling A fire fighting nozzle capable of straight jet and fog pattern 1 x 4-metre suction hose for the inlet side of the pump Filter connected to the suction fire hose Price Range $149 to $189 2" Heavy Duty Bush Fire Discharge Hose Kit Fire protection in remote areas is primarily a do-it-yourself project. With no road to our house, the small volunteer fire brigade couldn't come here to help, and with only a few neighbours, we'd have few options in the event of a fire. When it came to building a house in the bush on a tight budget, fire protection seem to take a low priority. Specifications and features include the following: Yellow Premium Hose Assembly 1" BSP x 10 Metre 19mm (3/4") Temperature range for hose diameter: -10°C to +60°C The pressure rating of up to 205 PSI Maximum UV Stabilized and Chemical Resistant HD wist Action Adjustable Brass Nozzle - Fitted with Brass Hose Tail & Fire Fighting Nozzle Conforms to Australia Standard AS1221. Heavy-Duty Suction Hose Assembly 2" x 5m 1-1/2" Heavy Duty Bush Fire Hose Kit The Suction Hose Consider a suction hose to be similar to a vacuum cleaner hose. Instead of dust and dirt, it draws water from lakes, rivers, wells, pools, and other bodies of water to transport to a fire. The pump's capacity determines the hose diameter, and three standard sizes are commonly used: 75mm, 100mm, and 140mm. With this kit, you get 5 metres of 1-1/2" (40mm) Suction hose Hose for Delivery When most people think of a fire hose, they envision a delivery hose. It's a hose that delivers pressurized water or another type of fire retardant to a fire. The delivery hose included here is a 19mm or 3/4" rubber hose which is UV stabilized and chemical resistant. The hose, nozzle and fittings also conform to AS1221. 36 metres of Layflat firefighting hose with fittings and firefighting nozzle Fire services around Australia use lay flat hoses. It's straightforward to deploy. I.e. rolling the fire hose out while there is no water in it, and once it reaches its objective can then be charged. It is reducing the fatigue of the operator. Being very tough and durable, it will perform well when charged to pressures above conventional rubber hose and has an operating pressure of 200bar (2000kpa). Most fire fighting pumps supply pressures around 700kpa at the nozzle for effective firefighting. Larger pressures/flows only make the fire hose more challenging to control. This fire hose Kit also comes with several fittings and is ready to couple to a firefighting pump and start fighting a fire. The standard length for this type of fire hose usually is 30 metres, but this one gives you an extra 6 metres and is 36 metres long. Even though the manufacturer indicates that you can place the hose in storage wet, this will reduce the life of the fire hose. All lay-flat hoses should be washed and dried after use.
