Fire hoses have been used by firefighters for firefighting since the very beginning of organized firefighting until today and will be indispensable in the future. In addition, fire hoses can be used in industry, construction, agriculture and, of course, for firefighting competitions. In general, we divide them into two types, namely pressure and suction pipes, and you can buy all this in the online store "FireRescue.eu".
Pressure fire hoses
There are more and more fires and it is more and more important how fast we get water to the place of the fire, so that we can put out the fire as quickly as possible. To transport or transport water to the place of fire, firefighters use pressure fire hoses, which are divided into high and low pressure hoses. The low pressure pipes used for extinguishing were once only white in color, but now we can get pipes of all colors such as yellow, red, green, orange and also in a highly visible color. High pressure hoses, on the other hand, are used to extend hoses from high pressure fans in vehicles. These pipes usually have a 38-H Storz coupling for coupling and the couplings are made of brass as they can withstand pressures up to 40 bar, while the maximum working pressure of aluminum couplings for pressure pipes is 16 bar. In industry, construction and agriculture, pipes with a working pressure of 10 bar are used, which are much more affordable.
Suction fire hoses
Sometimes, when there was no such extensive hydrant network, and when our grandparents carried water home in buckets, they were used to supply water from streams, rivers, lakes, and the sea to a suction fire hose pump. The peculiarity of these pipes is that they cannot shrink, the shape is always the same regardless of the fact that the pump for sucking water from a natural source or pool, works on the principle of creating a vacuum.
All fire hoses, both pressure and suction, have one thing in common, and that is that they are all of the same diameter, namely 25-D, 38-H, 52-C, 75-B and 110-A. And in the online store "FireRescue.eu" we offer you all types of pressure and suction pipes by diameter, length and color. Don’t miss out and make sure you visit us.
