Armored Textiles N51H3LNO50N JAFLINE Double Jacket Fire Hose, 3″ X 50 Ft, 400 PSI, Orange

JAFLINE is a superior double jacket, polyurethane-lined highly durable and lightweight fire attack hose. It meets or exceeds NFPA 1961 Fire Hose Standard, 2013 edition.

Potable Water Standard NSF 61: The Jafline product contains material approved by the National Sanitation Foundation under Standard 61, “Listed Drinking Water System Components-Health Effects, Potable Water Material.” .

Jacket Construction: The warp and weft for the outer and inner jackets is virgin spun polyester yarn. Hose comprised of all-synthetic fibers is much lighter in weight and more flexible than cotton-synthetic hose; therefore, a greater amount can be stored in a given space. 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 275°F. The jackets must fit snugly inside one another under zero pressure or under proof and service test pressures.

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. Thickness of the liner shall be .015 to .018 for 1″, 1-1/2″ and 1-3/4″ and .022″ to .025 for the 2-1/2″ hose. Shore hardness shall be 40 ± 5 durometer on the “D” scale. The tensile strength of the liner shall not be less than 3000 psi, with a minimum elongation of 400%.

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 15 pounds.

Accelerated Aging: Lining specimens subjected to an exposure of 158 ° +/- 3.6 °, for a duration of 96hours shall be conditioned to ASTM D 573, and ASTM D4112, Standard Test Methods for Vulcanized 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.

Cold Resistance: Hose shall have the capability of use down to-40 ° F. There shall be no apparent damage to jacket or lining when subjected to the following cold bend test: A 3-foot section of hose shall be exposed to a temperature of-40 ° F. for a period of 24 hours. At the end of the exposure period, the hose shall be rapidly bent 180 degrees back onto itself, first one way and then the other. Following this procedure, the hose shall not leak, nor show any damage to the jacket when subjected to the burst pressure shown above.

Heat Resistance: The ability of the hose to resist heat shall be verified using the test procedures defined in UL 19, Lined Fire Hose and Hose Assemblies, Heat-Resistance Test; FM Class Number 2111, Factory Mutual Approval Standard for Fire Hose, Heat Resistance.

Inspection and Care: NFPA Advises users to develop a fire house inspection and care programmed based on NFPA 1962, Standard for the inspection, care, and use of Fire Hose Couplings, and Nozzles and the service testing of Fire Hose, 2008 edition. Such Program should also address the retirement of the hose.

Warranty: FKP 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 FKP at no charge to the fire department.
