Fire hose metal joints at both ends, can be connected to another root zone in order to extend the distance or is connected to the nozzle to increase fluid injection pressure.

The use and maintenance of fire hose

In 1, a fire hose in the hose connector, a water hose interface, to be lined with soft protection, and then use the galvanized iron wire or hoop truss.

2, water use. The use of a fire hose, high pressure hose should be connected in place near from the pump, after filling water hose should prevent twisting or suddenly bending, also should prevent water interface collision damage.

3, hose laying. Laying hose clamp, to avoid sharp objects and all kinds of oils, high vertical laying hose, hose hook to use, through the traffic thoroughfare laying hose, hose bridge should pad, via rail, water from the orbit following through, to avoid the water wheel and is bad for intermittent water supply.

4, to prevent icing. The winter season, on the fire be suspended in water, to prevent water freezes, water pumps to slow, keep a small water.

5, water cleaning, water use, should be cleaned, to transport the water bubble, must careful washing, protective layer. In order to remove the oil hose, available water or soap to wash, to freeze water, first to use to melt, and then clean and dry, without drying water not receivable volume storage.

2, storing, fire hose is not long placed in the outdoor sun and rain, cannot be placed near the heat source, prevent aging, prevent corrosion and viscous substance pollution, where, due to the appropriate temperature and good ventilation, water should be single roll up, set up in a hose rack or reel to flip several times each year and exchange folded a few second, with the car hose, should avoid mutual friction, when necessary to exchange folding.

Fire hose extension method

The firemen in fire fighting, or in fire fighting exercises, often found that regardless of what kind of fire hose, the first damaged portions are folded line. This is mainly due to the small area of contact with the folding, wear it. Often the section water everywhere, because the folding line hole can not be used, had to be scrapped, what a pity. In fact, as long as the regular replacement of water with the fold line location, life will be greatly extended, the method is:

In 1, the new folding suture zone extension, and then through the hose irrigation, slightly hardness, in order to facilitate folding of new sutures;

2, each with two people at the same time the ninety percent off volume, one hand from any end point started folding suture, another person and thereafter, according to the new line reel;

3, water roll after the sun, its new folding line can be fixed. According to this method, any type of hose, can greatly extend the service life.
