Key Fire Hose Lightweight Forestry Type II Hose

Key Fire Hose Lightweight Forestry Type II Hose

The Key Fire Hose Lightweight Forestry Type II Hose is engineered to combat the rigors of woodland fire fighting and ideal for changing forestry terrain, providing the ultimate in heat, abrasion and puncture resistance. 

A heat resistant ring spun outer jacket prevents damage from sparks and radiant heat. The outer jacket is finished with our iconic “Key-Lok” polyurethane based polymer impregnation so hose will remain mildew resistant and require no drying.

Key Hose “smooth flow technology” delivers more water at higher pressures, all in a compact, lightweight design that goes where you need it, while easy to deploy and manage.

Hose will be marked FSS, 450 WP, 187 Type II, per US Forest Service Specification 5100-187C. 

• Jacket constructed with ring spun polyester yarn in the warp, with filler yarns consisting of high strength, low elongation, filament polyester for reduced weight and increase flexibility. The jacket construction is a 1-2 woven twill pattern with the 2 over-crossing on the exterior of the jacket. The lining consists of a single-ply extruded tube of synthetic polyurethane that resist ozone. The polyurethane tube is adhered to the jacket to prevent delamination. The finished product meets and exceeds all potable water MIL-H-24606 latest edition standards for the manufacturing of lightweight fire hose. Type II may also be manufactured with a thin-wall high tensile 1800 psi EPDM rubber liner. Rubber lined products are an accepted alternative to polyurethane lined hose in accordance with 5100‑187C Type II specifications.
