Conquest

Written by Metro Fire
Looking for a hose to flow a tremendous amount of water? You’ve found it with CONQUEST!

Today’s fires are hotter and more water is needed at the nozzle to knock them down fast. Conquest meets that challenge every day. Our patented thru-the-weave extruded polyurethane liner has an incredibly smooth surface that enhances water flow. Typical friction loss reductions of over 50% compared to other hose designs deliver more water at standard operating pressure.

Properties and Construction

  • Unique, high quality, double jacket municipal fire hose made from 100% high tenacity ring spun polyester outer jacket covering an extruded-thru-the-weave polyurethane inner hose. NO ADHESIVE IS USED and the lining will never delaminate – 100% Guaranteed for the life of the hose.
  • Lowest Friction Loss in the industry provides the highest flow available (see chart on page M-25) – up to 50% less than traditional hose.
  • Exclusive Dura-CoteTM treatment increases abrasion resistance to well over 50 times that of uncoated hose on an abrasion tester, increases burn resistance by 500%, virtually eliminates water pick-up, and provides resistance to many petrochemicals. 
  • Hose remains flexible to temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) and meets all NFPA requirements for ozone resistance. 
  • Passes 34” doorway kink test at 50 psi (345 kPa) nozzle pressure.
  • Optional color-coded stripe of one contrasting color can be woven into the outer jacket running the full length of the hose for identification purposes. See color chips for hose and stripe options.
  • Suitable for C.A.F.S. and foam concentrates.
  • When specified for potable water, the polyurethane lining material meets National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 61 for drinking water.
  • Ponn Conquest is manufactured in accordance with National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 1961 standard, latest edition within our ISO-9001:2000 certified quality assurance system.

LD (LD)

Written by Metro Fire

LD Hose 

Snap-tite LD is a premium quality, nitrile rubber covered fire hose that is manufactured using a unique process which permanently bonds the nylon reinforcement to the nitrile rubber cover/liner. LD is an easily coiled, non-kinking, high flow, lightweight hose that also resists abrasion, chemicals and weathering by ozone. Extruded thru-the-weave construction means that no adhesives are used, therefore no delamination.

Properties and Production

  • LD is an extruded thru-the-weave, nitrile rubber fire hose. The reinforcement is made with circular woven, twill weave, nylon fibers.

  • Highly resistant to both contact and radiant heat.

  • Designed using an external elastomeric coating that provides very low absorption of liquids.

  • Hose remains flexible to temperatures as low as -5°F (-20°C) and is resistant to ozone, oxidation, and most chemicals or petroleum products.

  • Engineered for high-rise applications but can be used as an alternative to all types of conventional hose.

  • Maintenance free, no drying required, and is easily cleaned.

  • Snap-tite LD is manufactured in accordance with NFPA standard 1961, latest edition within our ISO-9001:2000 certified quality assurance system and has been third-party (Kitemark) tested for compliance to BS 6391 as a Type 3 hose.

Dura-Pak (DP)

Written by Metro Fire

 

Dura-Pak Hose 

When introduced, Dura-Pak started an industry-wide trend toward lightweight hi-rise hose. Originally designed for back-pack use, Dura-Pak folds tightly for small spaces, hose beds and hi-rise packs. Because it is so durable many departments have selected Dura-Pak for frontline attack duties.

Properties and Construction

  • Dura-Pak is a double jacket municipal fire hose with both jackets made from 100% high strength, low stretch, air-entangled nylon along with a lining of thermoplastic polyurethane for reduced weight while remaining kink resistant.

  • Reverse twill weave of the inner jacket provides a smooth waterway, comparable only to Ponn Conquest.

  • Standard Dura-Cote™ protective treatment greatly increases abrasion, heat, flame and petrochemical resistance while virtually eliminating water pick-up. When treated, Dura-Pak is protected from mildew and no drying is required.

  • Lining remains flexible to temperatures as low as -40°F (-40°C) and is highly resistant to ozone and oxidation.

  • Suitable for C.A.F.S. and foam concentrate applications.

  • Polyurethane lining material meets National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) Standard 61 for drinking water.

  • National Fire Hose Dura-Pak is manufactured in accordance with NFPA 1961 standard, latest edition within our ISO-9001: 2000 certified quality assurance system.
