TPX HOSE
3-PLY NITRILE RUBBER ATTACK/SUPPLY HOSE
Traditionally, manufactured extruded hose can vary in thickness, becoming bulky and heavy. TPX utilizes a 3-ply design where the ribbed cover and smooth nitrile liner are extruded independently. The cover is inserted inside the tight-weave reinforcement, vulcanized, and then turned inside out. The liner is then inserted and the hose is vulcanized for a second time to form a bond of all three plies, guaranteeing a consistent, compact hose wall. The Snap-tite TPX is highly resistant to both conductive and radiant heat.
- Better by Design. 3-ply rubber municipal fire hose with both the cover and liner made of heavy duty nitrile rubber, high tensile strength tightly woven polyester reinforcement for maximum durability and flexibility.
- High-Performance. Smooth liner reduces friction loss for maximum flow.
- Durable. Nitrile rubber cover greatly increases abrasion resistance, provides long service life and the tightly woven reinforcement resists puncture.
- Mobile. Smart 3-ply design affords incredible strength but with a lightweight profile making it easy to manage on the fireground.
- Flexible. Hose remains flexible to temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) and is resistant to ozone, oxidation, and most chemicals or petroleum products.
- Versatile. Suitable for attack, supply and suction applications.
- Certified. Manufactured in accordance with NFPA 1961 Standard, latest edition within our ISO-9001 certified quality assurance system.
- 2 Year Warranty
