Grant Writing for Volunteer Fire Departments 101
Being a volunteer fire department often means doing a lot with a tight budget. But where do you start in the grant writing process, especially if you don't have a dedicated grant writer on staff?
The ATX™ Hose
ATX™
Reinforced for Strength, Engineered for High-Performance Flow
High pressure nitrile rubber attack/supply hose
Manufactured in a similar process as TPX™, ATX™ utilizes a 3-ply design where the cover and liner are extruded independently and double vulcanized to guarantee a consistent, compact hose wall. The polyester reinforcement can then be woven tighter, making this hose more resistant to puncture while also being easier to pack and store. ATX™ has a stronger jacket which increases the service test pressure of the LDH sizes to 300 psi (2068 kpa).
Attack Hose
Large Diameter Supply Line Hose (LDH)
Klean
