Armored Textiles N55H15F50N FOREST LITE Single Jacket Fire Hose, 1-1/2" X 50 Ft, 300 PSI, White Forest Lite is a single jacket, polyurethane-lined lightweight hose intended for use in wild land fire suppression. It meets or exceeds NFPA 1961 Fire Hose Standard, 2013 edition.
Diameters: Forest Lite is available in 1" and 1.5" diameters.
Jacket Construction: The jacket is virgin spun high tenacity polyester. The outer jacket is thoroughly impregnated with a polymer compound to provide superior resistance to chemicals, abrasion and ultraviolet light. Compound is heat set at 250° F. Lining: The thermoplastic lining shall be a single-ply extruded tube and shall be unaffected by ozone. The finished form shall be free of pits or other imperfections and shall have a smooth finish. No reclaimed material shall be used. The tensile strength of the liner shall not be less than 2000 psi, with an maximum elongation of 10 percent.
Adhesion: The adhesion between the liner and the inside jacket is such that the rate of separation of a 1.5" wide strip cut transversely, shall not be greater than 1" per minute over a period of ten minutes, under a weight of 12 pounds.
Accelerated Aging: Lining specimens subjected to an exposure of 158° F +/- 3.6° F, for a duration of 96 hours shall be conditioned to ASTM D 573, Standard Test Method for Rubber - Deterioration in an Air Oven. Then, the specimens shall be tested to ASTM D4112, Standard Test Methods for Vulanized Rubber and Thermoplastic Elastomers- Tension, Method A. Under evaluation, the tensile and elongation properties of the liner shall not be less than 75% of their initial values.
Warranty: ATI warranties both the hose and couplings to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of 10 years. Upon evaluation, hose found to be defective will be repaired or replaced by ATI at no charge to the fire department.
