The Big Water Hose
Big Water
Leading the Way: Big Water LDH for High-Volume, High-Pressure Firefighting
Supply extra large volumes of water at high pressure
The Firequip Big Water 7 1⁄4”LDH is specifically designed to supply extra large volumes of water at high pressure with minimal friction loss to oil refinery and large storage tank fires. Tough and ready for action, but light in weight and strong, compact and practical, and will fit on most hose storage devices.
The outer jacket with Wear Guard treatment greatly increases abrasion resistance, heat and flame resistance, practically eliminates water absorption and adds superb resistance to petrol chemicals and also adds extreme resistance to bacterial and mildew growth.
