NFPA Fire Hose Testing Requirements Explained
Learn the NFPA 1962 requirements for annual fire hose testing, including inspections, pressure testing, documentation, and best practices to improve safety, compliance, and hose longevity.
The TPX™ LDH Hose
TPX™ LDH
The Ultimate Lightweight 3-Ply Hose for Maximum Power
3-ply nitrile rubber supply hose
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.

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 supply 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.
