Our 1 inch Made in the USA yellow forestry fire hose is manufactured to meet and exceed all performance requirements of NFPA 1961 and USDA-US Forestry Service Specification 5100-187 Type 2. Jacket construction shall be a 1-2 woven twill pattern with the 2 over-crossing on the exterior of the jacket. This wildland fire hose jacket is sealed with a polyurethane based polymer impregnation for abrasion and mildew resistance and requires no drying. Meets FSS 450 WP 187 Type II per USDA / USFS 5100-187c specification.

NSN 4210-01-526-3000 NFES 0932

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

• 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

Forestry Type II Spec Sheet

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.
