Hose Matters Training Series: Build Your Attack Package
HOSE MATTERS: District Sales Manager Anthony Brooks explains how targeted flow, the Freeman Ratio, and consistent training come together to build the right attack package for your department.
The TPX™ Hose
TPX™
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 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.
