ANGLO FIRE DELIVERY HOSE

  • Exceptional abrasion resistance
  • Completely rot-proof
  • Easily repaired in the event of accidental damage
  • Short length burst pressure 500 psi/35 kg/cm²

    Anglo Hoses are manufactured from the toughest, yet lightest and most flexible, man-made synthetic yarns available. They are circular woven on the most modern looms into tough fire hose jackets, every inch of which is subjected to rigorous inspection. A seamless tube of black synthetic rubber is then steam vulcanised into the jacket to produce one of the most robust, light-weight, flexible hoses available. Anglo fire delivery hoses are also available with a specially formulated red polyurethane external coating, suitable for all climatic conditions, which gives increased resistance to heat and excellent external protection against oils, most acids, alkalis and a wide range of chemicals.


    BRITANNIA FIRE DELIVERY HOSE

  • Tested and accepted for marine use by the Department of Transport Marine Directorate
  • Exceptional abrasion resistance
  • Completely rot-proof
  • Easily repaired in the event of accidental damage
  • Short length burst pressure 650 psi/45 kg/cm²
  • Maximum advised working pressure 300 psi/21 kg/cm²
  • Manufacturer's proof pressure 400 psi/28 kg/cm²

    Britannia Hoses are manufactured from the toughest, yet lightest and most flexible, man-made synthetic yarns available.

    Fire Equipment Storage Boxes

    To compliment our range of fire extinguishers, a range of extinguisher storage boxes and fire point stands are normally available from stock.

    SINGLE BOX DOUBLE BOX SINGLE STAND DOUBLE STAND

    Storage boxes are recommended where extinguishers are exposed to the elements or to harsh working conditions found in commercial premises such as garages. They are also useful in environments where vandalism and misuse is a problem such as schools, hotels, residential complexes and shopping centres.

    Stands provide an easily identifiable fire point for any commercial environment where quick identification of fire points is required.
