Applications For Double Jacket Fire Hose

Professionals in the industry choose single jacket fire hoses because they will pass all certification inspections and meet all requirements for safety.  If you have a tough job, you need a tough hose.  Polyester hoses are tightly woven and extensively treated to withstand the most heavy use with ease.  The lightweight, flexible, and abrasion resistant properties of hoses make it a popular choice for various industries:

• Fire Departments (Municipal • Structural • Volunteer • Forestry)
• Heavy Industrial Projects (Irrigation • Construction • Chemical • Oil • Manufacturing)
• Residential & Commercial (Fire Hydrants • Water Pumps • Drainage • Standpipes • Testing)
• Special Industry (Marine • Shipping • Mining • Military • Drilling • Decontamination)
• Government (Military • US Coast Guard • Infrastructure • National Parks)

Differences Between Single & Double Layered Fire Hoses

The difference between single and double jacket hoses is the layers.  Simply put, double the layers means double the strength and double the lifespan.  Single jacket hoses contain a single layered polyester jacket with a rubber liner, and a double jacket hose has an extra layer of polyester pulled over it making it double the thickness.  Both have their advantages. 

• Single jacket fire hoses are suitable when you need a lighter weight and more economical hose that can still handle tough jobs.  The working pressure is 250 PSI.
• Double jacket fire hoses are built for long term heavy abrasion.  They have double the life of a single jacket hose and have an excellent working pressure of 400 PSI. 
• Both hoses have treated polyester materials which are 100% mildew & mold immune and will never require drying; pack them away wet.
