Large diameter fire hose carried by David's Fire Equipment is Key brand. Key stands behind their LDH with a five year warranty. Their basic description of the hose is as follows:
Or, in layman's terms, it is a single jacket hose where the cloth mesh is entirely encased by the rubber compound which not only forms the waterway but the outside wall as well. The rubber used by Key is Nitrile. (Click Here if you want to see the technical stuff on nitrile.) Nitrile is one of the most heavily used rubber compounds where chemical, cut, and abrasion resistance are a must. The combination of nitrile and the woven jacket result in a 1750 PSI tensile strength. Tough stuff. It won't rot or mildew. If you are investigating reasons to add Large Diameter Hose to
