Description
AirCare carries the full line of Snap-Tite National fire hose, including these popular hoses:
5M
POLYESTER SINGLE JACKET HOSE
Purpose-built for above- and below-ground mining operations, 5M mine hose is a polyester single jacket hose with a neoprene rubber liner that resists burning inherently better than hydrocarbon rubber. This hybrid design has earned 5M the Mine Safety & Health Administration (MSHA) Approval #2G-15/1 for use in mines along with non-sparking brass couplings. The hose features an ultra-tight weave that helps prevent abrasion associated with the rigors of the mine environment, and also prevents kinking as is found with inexpensive hoses.
5P
POLYESTER SINGLE JACKET HOSE
The super-duty 5P is an excellent all-around performer: Strong, flexible and ideally suited for all exterior and interior firefighting applications, it delivers medium pressure and high-end performance at a value price point. 5P is a polyester single jacket hose with a rugged Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber liner that can handle most fluids including some chemicals and petroleum-based products. It boasts a maximum operating pressure of 225 psi (1550 kPa) and can be enhanced with optional Dura-Cote™ treatment for a higher level of abrasion resistance while preventing water pick-up.
6D
POLYESTER DOUBLE JACKET HOSE
Similar in design to 8D hose, 6D is purpose-built for the rigors of industrial firefighting but with lower operating pressures at 300 psi (2068 kPa) maximum. When the pressures are lower and the economics demand consideration, this double jacket, rubber lined hose delivers fail-proof performance with a rugged outer jacket, a smooth, steady flow and extra kink resistance. An added benefit: Most sizes of type 6D are UL listed or FM approved and can be labeled if required. Both brass and aluminum couplings are available.
6D LDH
POLYESTER DOUBLE JACKET HOSE
Similar in design to 8D hose, 6D is purpose-built for the rigors of industrial firefighting but with lower operating pressures at 300 psi (2068 kPa) maximum. When the pressures are lower and the economics demand consideration, this double jacket, rubber lined hose delivers fail-proof performance with a rugged outer jacket, a smooth, steady flow and extra kink resistance. An added benefit: Most sizes of type 6D are UL listed or FM approved and can be labeled if required. Both brass and aluminum couplings are available.
6T HOSE
A Premium Double Jacket Hose With Superior Performance
The choice for mission-critical firefighting performance, 6T hose is a double jacket military-grade fire hose constructed with 100% high tensile strength polyester yarn with a thermoplastic polyurethane liner for reduced weight and kink-resistance. 6T meets all the requirements of NFPA 1961 Standard and Mil Std. 24606B for potable water transfer or fuel transfer. The optional Dura-Cote™ treatment greatly increases abrasion, heat, flame and petrochemical resistance while virtually eliminating water pick-up. When treated, 6T is protected from mildew and no drying is required, making it easy to manage on the fireground.
7F (187 FORESTRY HOSE)
POLYESTER SINGLE JACKET FORESTRY HOSE
Strong, portable and lightweight for easy transport, 7F is the dependable, all-synthetic fire hose with a polyurethane lining inside a polyester jacket that meets the USDA Forest Service Specification 5100-187 for Synthetic Lined fire hose. It is ideal for traditional Type 1 specifications. Available in 50′ or 100′ lengths, 7F includes aluminum rocker lug or ¼ turn forestry couplings.
8D HOSE
POLYESTER DOUBLE JACKET SUPPLY HOSE
Rugged and quality-built to meet NFPA 1961 Standard requirements, the portable 8D is the essential municipal-grade, double jacket attack handline hose. The lightweight Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer (EPDM) rubber liner creates consistent flow and is manufactured to a service test pressure of 400 psi to handle the toughest fireground challenges. It boasts a wide temperature range – capable of being used at a mine in Alaska or a construction site in Arizona – which helps earn 8D its reputation as the ultimate multi-purpose hose.
8F (187 FORESTRY HOSE)
POLYESTER SINGLE JACKET FORESTRY HOSE
Revered for its strength and portability, 8F Fire Hose Type 187 is a lightweight, all-synthetic fire hose with a polyurethane lining inside a polyester jacket that meets the USDA Forest Service Specification 5100-187 for Synthetic Lined fire hose. It meets the latest Type ll Specification—and is protected from mildew with no drying required. Adding Dura-Cote™ treatment boosts abrasion, heat and flame resistance while virtually eliminating water pick-up. Available in 50′ or 100′ lengths, 8F includes aluminum rocker lug or quarter turn forestry couplings and meets or exceeds the low weight requirements of the specifications.
NATIONAL 8M
POLYESTER DOUBLE JACKET HOSE MINING HOSE
8M mine hose is a premium quality rubber lined, double jacket hose that is MSHA (Mine Safety & Health Administration) approved (USMSHA No. 2G- 15/1) for the rugged demands of underground fire fighting.
A high quality polyester reinforced outer jacket protects an inner polyester jacket and rubber liners from wear and puncture while also helping to prevent kinking that limits flow. The all polyester double jacket construction provides maximum cut and abrasion resistance and is ideally suited for mining operations.
8T HOSE
LIGHTWEIGHT POLYESTER DOUBLE JACKET HOSE
Versatility meets rugged dependability: 8T is the double jacket municipal-grade fire hose that incorporates a lightweight polyurethane liner for added strength, but with no added bulk to weigh you down. It meets all the requirements of NFPA 1961 Standard, and with optional Dura-Cote™ protective treatment, it is an exceptional value with industry-leading abrasion and puncture resistance, and an extended service life.
DURA-PAK (DP) HOSE
NYLON DOUBLE JACKET ATTACK HOSE
Dura-Pak is the hose that started the industry-wide trend toward sourcing lightweight high-rise attack hose. Originally designed for backpack use, rugged Dura-Pak folds tightly for small spaces, hose beds and high-rise packs, yet it remains kink resistant and resists punctures, abrasion and petrochemicals—reasons why many departments rely on Dura-Pak for frontline attack duties.
N-DURA® (NP) HOSE
NYLON DOUBLE JACKET ATTACK HOSE
Confidence. Delivered. N-Dura has an outstanding record of strength, durability and value: 30 years of fireground experience and millions of feet sold. Produced from high-quality raw materials to exacting standards, this rubber-lined, nylon double jacket hose has extinguished fires in all 50 states – from large city departments to small volunteer stations.
TRIPLE DUTY HOSE
LARGE DIAMETER NYLON DOUBLE JACKET HOSE
The alternative to bulky rubber LDH hose, Triple Duty is the tough, lightweight double jacket workhorse that flat out performs. Engineered for attack, supply and relay operations, its polyurethane liner is lighter than rubber and its nylon 6.6 outer jacket, treated with exclusive Dura-Cote™ abrasion resistant coating, makes this hose incredibly durable. Weighing substantially less than other LDH hose, Triple Duty is also more portable and packs tighter, requiring less hose bed space.
