Snap-tite Hose
FIREFIGHTING, AGRICULTURAL, & INDUSTRIAL HOSE EXPERTS
We’ve built our reputation on manufacturing industry-leading quality hose in the United States and worldwide. It all started in 1969, when Snap-tite formed its Hose Products Division and in 1977, entered into a joint venture with a West German company to manufacture lay-flat hose in Union City, Pennsylvania. Snap-tite is credited with introducing the concept of large diameter hose (LDH) and driving its widespread use throughout North America. Today, virtually every fire department in America uses LDH to move water efficiently.
In 1980, Snap-tite bought out its partner to form Snap-tite Hose, Inc. In 1990, the Company purchased Ponn Hose and in 1995, it acquired National Fire Hose.
The company remains true to our commitment to engineer and manufacture the industry’s best firehose. Every day our team of 195+ works at the Company’s facilities — two in Pennsylvania and one in Wexford, Ireland— to deliver on that quality promise.
Our premium hose product is trusted worldwide — from the highest quality lay-flat jacketed and rubber fire hose to industrial large diameter hose and powerful and tough agricultural and drag hose.

I am confident we have the best of the best hose for our complicated buildings. HighRise Firefighting requires us to carry hose packs up close and personal. I find the rubber hose easy to clean, making it safer for Firefighters health.
Snap-tite Hose is doing everything possible to keep workers safe and continue providing product without issue or delay by being non-reliant on overseas materials is another reason why our existing customers will continue and better yet new customers will come join Shipman’s & Snap-tite Hose for all the hose product needs.
The evaluation results showed that a combination of Elkhart Brass and Ponn TRU-A-TAK hose allowed for the delivery of targeted fire flows with low nozzle reaction, less stream break up, low friction loss and more kink resistance than any other combination of nozzle and hose. The ability to reach our targeted fire flow with low nozzle reaction and more kink resistance leads to increased firefighter safety and effectiveness during interior fire attack operations.
