GH PROGRESS PRO
BSI Kitemark approved rubber covered fire hose
Applications
- Refineries
- Chemical industry
- Military
- Airport fire services
- Industrial and municipal fire brigades
- Fire hose for tough conditions
Features
- Very lightweight and highly flexible (also at extremely low temperatures)
- Small coil diameter
- Excellent resistance to ageing and ozone
- Lining extremely resistant to seawater and a wide range of chemicals (see resistance table)
- Mildew and rotproof
- Easy to repair
Construction
Jacket lining:
- Warp: high-tenacity polyester Weft: polyamide; circular woven
- The special jacket construction ensures outstanding adhesion and much lower pressure loss compared to a 100% polyester jacket lining
- Totally embedded in the rubber, offering optimum protection against mechanical damage
- Very high-grade NBR/PVC rubber compound, extruded through the weave in a special one-step production process
- Special additives in the compound guarantee outstanding resistance to ageing and ozone
Pressures
Specifications apply only to the hose (medium water, 20°C). The potential working pressure may be lower than specified above for hose lines with couplings due to the nominal pressure of the couplings or the type of assembly.
BS 6391:2009 with British Instantaneous couplings:
Ø 38–76 mm: max. working pressure 15 bar
Ø 89: max. working pressure 12 bar
Maximum working pressure:
