Our 1 1/2 inch white forestry fire hose with aluminum NH/NST threaded couplings is manufactured to meet and exceed all performance requirements of NFPA 1961 and USDA-US Forestry Service Specification 5100-187 Type 1. It also meets or exceeds ULC-S518.1-11.
This wildland fire hose features a TPU (polyurethane) lining to reduce friction loss and deliver more water. The TPU lining also reduces weight and allows the hose to pack flat for easy transport. Hose remains flexible to -65 F (-45 C).
Note : Our imported Type I Forestry Hose is designed to be ultra lightweight for maximum portability when fighting wildland fires. The TPU lining allows for low friction loss and enables it to pack extremely well. For increased durability see our yellow Made in the USA Type II Forestry Hose that features a rubber inner liner and an outer yellow polymer coating for maximum durability in a wildland fire hose.
