Our 1 inch Made in the USA white forestry fire hose is manufactured to meet and exceed all performance requirements of NFPA 1961 and USDA-US Forestry Service Specification 5100-187 Type 1. The polyurethane lining delivers more water at higher pressures. Lightweight, easy to handle and fitted with threaded couplings.

Note: Our USA made 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 Type II Forestry Hose that features a rubber inner liner and an outer yellow polymer coating for maximum durability in a wildland fire hose.

How To Purchase Fire Hose

• Adding color impregnation improves durability and mildew resistance compared to untreated white hose
• 50 foot lengths are easier to handle and offer more layout flexibility vs. 100 foot lengths

Applications

• Forest firefighting
• Brush firefighting
• Wildland firefighting
• Residential Use

Test Ratings (Water Only With Expansion Ring Couplings)

• Service Pressure (A 3-minute hydrostatic test conducted by users on in-service hose to determine suitability for continued service)
• Proof Test Pressure (A pressure equal to a least two times the service test pressure)
• PSI Burst Test Pressure

1" Hose Male Couplings

• Inside diameter of a male coupling: 1 inch
• Outside diameter of a male NH / NST coupling: 1 3/8 inches (1.375) - 8 Threads per inch
• Outside diameter a male NPSH or NPT coupling: 1 5/16 inches (1.295) - 11.5 Threads per inch

• The female side of a garden hose will only connect to a male garden hose connection
• The male side of a garden hose will only connect to a female garden hose connection

NH / NST: The most common thread type in use by fire departments today is NST or National Standard Thread. NST also goes by the initials NH or National Hose. It can even be referred to as NHT or National Hose Thread but NST or NH is more common these days. NH = NST.

• The female side of a NH / NST coupling will only connect to a male NH / NST connection
• The male side of a NH / NST coupling will only connect to a female NH / NST connection

NPSH: National Pipe Straight Hose (NPSH) or Iron Pipe Thread (IPT) has the same threads per inch (TPI) as National Pipe Tapered (NPT) but the thread does not taper. NPSH is a straight thread and seals by a gasket in the female coupling which allows for a swivel, just like NH / NST, which make both ideal for hose couplings.

• The female side of a NPSH coupling will only connect to a male NPT pipe or a male NPSH connection
• The male side of a NPSH coupling will only connect to a female NPSH connection
• It will NOT thread into a female NPT pipe. For example, a male NPSH coupling will NOT thread into a female metal or pvc pipe.

NPT: National Pipe Tapered is common in plumbing and some industrial uses. Sometimes referred to as pipe thread because PVC pipe and schedule 40 pipe are typically threaded in NPT. As its name implies this is a tapered thread so that the outside diameter of the male (ODM) gets smaller towards the end of the fitting and the inside diameter of the female narrows with depth. As the two fittings are threaded together the opposite tapers force thread friction and makes the seal without the use of a gasket.

Limited 10-Year Warranty

We will replace any fire hose with manufacturer defects in material and workmanship. All warranty claims must be returned to us for inspection before we determine a solution.

Our warranty does not cover gaskets, shipping cost, cosmetic damages, normal wear-and-tear, improper use or chemical damage.

Fire hoses purchased for use at Fire Training Facilities will have a 90-day Manufacturer Defect warranty only.

Upon receipt of the returned goods, hoses will be subject to inspection and testing.

Should it be determined that the hose is covered by warranty, it will be repaired or replaced.
