Municipal fire hose
High-pressure fire hose for apparatus attachment, hydrant connection, and attack lines. Meets NFPA 1961 standards.
Best for: fire apparatus, hydrant supply, attack lines
Double-jacket fire hose
Our double-jacket municipal fire hose is engineered for the toughest structural and wildland fire fighting operations. The inner jacket provides the pressure seal while the outer jacket delivers abrasion resistance against concrete, asphalt, and debris at emergency scenes.
The woven polyester construction resists mildew, rot, and UV degradation. Each length is hydrostatically tested before leaving the factory. Available with your choice of NH, NST, or storz couplings in brass or lightweight aluminum.
Related fire fighting applications
Challenges solved by the correct fire hose selection
Jacket abrasion on concrete
Dragging hose across concrete, asphalt, and rubble during fire attack wears through standard covers in just a few uses. Our double-jacket construction adds a sacrificial outer layer that extends service life significantly in urban fire fighting environments.
Hose bed storage space
Departments with limited hose bed capacity need to maximize stored length without exceeding weight limits. Our compact double-jacket construction packs more hose per cubic foot than traditional rubber-covered designs, while maintaining full NFPA 1961 pressure ratings.
Mildew and rot from improper drying
Fire hoses that are packed wet after use develop mildew and rot in the jacket fibers, reducing burst strength and creating offensive odors in the apparatus compartment. Our polyester jacket resists mildew growth and dries faster than traditional cotton or blended jackets, extending service life even when drying conditions are not ideal.
Case study: Municipal fire department hose replacement, USA
How upgrading to double-jacket hose reduced annual replacement costs by 40%.
Situation: A mid-sized municipal fire department was replacing single-jacket attack line hoses every 8–10 months due to outer cover damage from concrete abrasion and sharp debris at fire scenes. Annual hose replacement costs exceeded $15,000.
Solution: Migrated to double-jacket NFPA 1961 compliant hose with a woven polyester outer jacket for all attack lines and supply lines. Couplings upgraded to lightweight aluminum storz for faster connections.
Outcome: Hose service life extended to 24+ months. Annual replacement costs reduced 40%. Firefighters reported easier handling and reduced weight compared to previous rubber-covered hose.
Municipal fire hose FAQ
Yes, our double-jacket municipal fire hose is manufactured and tested to meet NFPA 1961 standards for fire hose. This includes burst pressure, coupling retention, and abrasion resistance requirements. Certification documentation is available upon request for procurement and insurance compliance.
Each length of municipal fire hose is service-test rated at 300 PSI, with a minimum burst pressure of 900 PSI (3:1 safety factor per NFPA 1961). Our standard hydrostatic test pressure is 1.5x the rated working pressure. Hoses are individually pressure-tested before shipment.
We supply municipal fire hose with a choice of threaded couplings including NH (National Standard), NST, and storz quick-connect couplings in aluminum or brass. Couplings are attached via expansion ring or bolted clamp per customer specification. All couplings meet NFPA 1963 standard.
