Rubber latex line fire hoses are the products that are highly appreciated by users. Such hoses are indispensable for supplying water and water-foam solutions using mobile fire suppression facilities. These kinds of pressure hoses have a relatively high value since they are coated with Malaysian REVULTEX LR natural latex using sophisticated manufacturing process. Hoses are uniformly impregnated with silicon rubber so that they are externally and internally coated by a protective layer (EI - Д) producing a water-proof jacket. Using such silicon rubber raw material it is possible to obtain the following consumer-rooted features: /p>
- Hose jacket water-proof surface is highly resistant to water providing efficient flow rate and delivery lift
- Hoses have compact and easy-to-service design thanks to their flexible properties;
- Hoses are made of mold-resistant, non-decomposable and moisture-proof material;
- Covering the outer layer of the cover with a layer of latex improves the performance properties of the fire hose, making it more durable and resistant to abrasion.
For producing rubber latex hoses, we use a jacket which is specifically designed for this type of product. For safe and long-terms storage, our rubber latex products are to be preserved with talcum powder; this preservation method makes it possible to avoid premature wear-out of hoses due to effects of compression force. RUSARSENAL rubber latex hose products have special wear-resistant (WR) design (И-class) that meets specific criteria of exposure proof rating. Additionally, rubber latex hose products are resistant to environmental effects and designed for operating in the 1st category moderate and cold climate – MCC1 (УХЛ1) (-60С - +50С) according to the requirements set out in GOST (interstate standard) 15150.
Product Range
Today, RUSARSENAL R&M Co produces rubber latex hoses which have the following rated diameters:
- 50 mm — РПМ(Д)-50-1,6-И-УХЛ1, (FHE(EI)- 50-1,6-WR-MCC1) ,
- 65 mm — РПМ(Д)-65-1,6-И-УХЛ1, (FHE(EI)- 65-1,6-WR-MCC1) ,
- 80 mm — РПМ(Д)-80-1,6-И-УХЛ1, (FHE(EI)- 80-1,6-WR-MCC1) ,
- 100 mm — РПМ(Д)-100-1,2-И-УХЛ1, (FHE(EI)- 100-1,2-WR-MCC1) ,
- 150 mm — РПМ(Д)-150-1,2-И-УХЛ1, (FHE(EI)- 150-1,2-WR-MCC1).
FHE - Fire Hose for fire engines
EI - externally and internally coated by a protective layer
WR - wear-resistant
MCC1 - moderate and cold climate
On customer demand, hoses may be fitted with hose couplings. As for hoses with internal diameter 50 and 65 mm, they may be optionally fitted with couplings and hand nozzles РС (HN)-50.01 and РС-70.01, respectively. Hoses are to be connected to fire couplings and hand nozzles and braced with 1.6 mm galvanized wire that should meet the requirements set out in GOST (interstate standard) 792.
Marking
Subject to GOST (interstate standard) 51049-2008, a hose unit should be properly marked for its identification. Rubber latex hoses are marked at the distance of maximum 0.5 m from the both ends. The following marking information should be provided:
- Technical regulation compliance mark,
- Manufacturer’s name or trade mark,
- Hose reference designation (РПМ(Д)-Ду-1,6-И-УХЛ1) (FHE(EIС)- D(diameter)1,6-WR-MCC1),
- Hose length in meters (20+/-1),
- Manufacturing date (month, year),
- Additional details (shift number, QC unit code).
Additionally, the following marking information is to be provided at 4 meter distance off one of the hose ends:
- Manufacturer’s name or trade mark
- Manufacturing date
Delivery Set
The delivery set includes:
- Rolled-up and tied-up hose
- Logbook as per GOST (interstate standard) 2.601-2013
