Why Does UL Matter?
BREAKING NEWS! Snap-tite's Warrior™ is now officially UL listed. Let’s take a deep dive into UL and why third-party certification is an important factor to consider when evaluating hose.
The TPX™ Hose
TPX™
Compact, Strong, and Ready for Battle
Unique 3-ply construction
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.
Attack Hose
Klean
Features & Benefits
- 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.
- Smooth liner keeps friction loss to a minimum.
- Nitrile rubber cover greatly increases abrasion resistance, provides long service life and the tightly woven reinforcement resists puncture.
- Suitable for attack and soft sleeve suction applications.
- Remains flexible at temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) and is resistant to ozone, oxidation, and most chemicals and petrochemicals.
- Tighter weave allows more resistance to puncture while also being easier to pack and store.
- Lays flat and needs less hose bed space than typical extruded hose.
- Manufactured in accordance with NFPA 1960 Standard, latest edition within our ISO-9001:2015 certified quality assurance system.
