The HFX™ LDH is a nitrile thru-the-weave, rubber covered fire hose that utilizes polyester and nylon 6.6 yarn in the reinforcing jacket. Under pressure, the polyester keeps the hose from snaking, while the nylon allows for controlled dilation, reducing friction loss, and generating higher flow rates. Our special rubber compound provides a tough cover that resists heat, abrasion, snags, and hot embers. The interlocking matrix also means no adhesives are used and there is a permanent bond to all the warp and weft yarns. The Snap-tite HFX™ is highly resistant to both conductive and radiant heat.
- Extruded thru-the-weave, nitrile rubber fire hose. The reinforcement is made with a blend of circular woven, twill weave, polyester, and nylon fibers.
- The ribs on the cover surface greatly increase abrasion resistance and help provide a long service life.
- Remains flexible at temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) and is resistant to ozone, oxidation, and most chemicals and petrochemicals.
- Suitable for attack, soft sleeve suction, and relay applications.
- Unique extruded nitrile rubber thru-the-weave construction provides a flexible, easy to maneuver hose that is easy to pack.
