Angus Fire supplies a wide range of fire hose products for a variety of applications. Fire hoses fall into two distinct types based upon the manufacturing processes. Conventional fire hoses comprise a circular woven, textile jacket lined with synthetic rubber. Covered fire hoses take a circular woven jacket and extrude rubber through the jacket to form both a lining and a cover. Extruded hose offers a more robust and lower maintenance solution to moving fire fighting water. They are ideal for heavy duty applications which might leave a conventional hose quickly damaged or beyond repair. Angus Fire is the world's leading manufacturer of extruded fire hose with such renowned brands as Duraline, Firechief, Coverlite and Hi Vol. For textile hose ask about Super Cobra, Firefighter 750 and Python.

 

Angus Duraline Hoses

Fire hose is perhaps the most important item of equipment carried on a fire appliance.  It is the fire fighter’s lifeline.  If it fails lives could be in danger.  Therefore its important to use the best.  And doesn’t every fire fighter deserve the best? 


Duraline is the world's leading maintenance-free (no drying required) extruded fire hose. No other hose can match Duraline for specification and performance, which is why over twenty million metres have been supplied to fire services worldwide. The secret lies in the Duraline's unique construction, which makes it highly resistant to kinking, even at low pressures. This plus the benefits of low-pressure loss and the ability to deliver more water over longer distances than its competitors makes Duraline the number one choice of professional fire fighters around the world.

Angus Duraline – A long life, world class, non-percolating, fire hose suited to most applications.

Angus Duraline Hi-Vol Water Relay Hose

Angus Fire's revolutionary large diameter  hose Hi Vol is what the fire service has been waiting for. Available in diameters up to 305mm Hi-Vol eliminates the logistical nightmare of "spaghetti" on the fire-ground. It also enables water to be moved over long distances with minimal friction loss, using fewer pumps in relay than conventional hose. The amount of water moved by 8 64mm lengths of Duraline can now be moved by a single 125mm length of Hi-Vol.  It is also being used by civil defence organisations for bridging municipal water mains damaged by earthquakes.

Angus Firechief

Angus Firechief is the result of considerable research and development designed to produce fire hose that offers all the performance advantages of extruded hose with exceptional lightness usually found with textile hose. The lightweight construction gives a tightly formed coil that occupies less space than bulky ordinary hose. Firechief's thick PVC/Nitrile covering is heat resistant and has excellent abrasion resistance and is easy to handle at temperatures ranging from -15oC up to 50oC. The distinctive orange colour gives it clear visibility in dark or smoky conditions

Firechief fire hose is a professional grade extruded hose with superb kink, abrasion and chemical resistance.  A key advantage is that it does not require drying.  Firechief is used extensively in the mining, marine, petrochemical industries and by fire brigades and Defence organizations.

Angus Firefighter 750

Firefighter, an "H" class hose, is a single jacket spun yarn fully lined non-percolating hose especially designed for rigorous fire service conditions. The hi-tech features of Firefighter ensure excellent abrasion resistance. The way in which the liner is bonded reduces friction loss to a minimum and above all this type of hose is easily repairable by simple procedures already in use with fire authorities utilising standard vulcanisers.

 

 
Angus Super Cobra

Super Cobra is an "H" class hose which remains light and flexible when wet or dry due to the use of synthetic yarns. PVA and Polyester yarns do not swell in contact with water and therefore there is no loss of flexibility when the hose is wet. PVA is also one of the most abrasion resistant synthetic yarns making it ideal for use in a fire hose. Super Cobra is designed for use by fire brigades operating under rigorous and demanding conditions.  Typical uses are urban fire fighting, mining, marine and petrochemical sites.
