Product Description
In many industrial environments, the air is thick with potential danger. Every spark from a grinder, every spatter from a welder, is a potential ignition source. A standard air or water hose in these settings isn't just a piece of equipment; it's a fuse waiting to be lit. When it catches fire, it doesn't just burn—it melts and drips, carrying the flame with it and turning a small incident into a catastrophe. We believe that safety should never be a compromise. That was the uncompromising principle behind our Flame Resistant Multipurpose Hose. Its cover has a distinct, robust texture and a color—often bright yellow or red—that signals safety. When exposed to a flame, it will char, but it will not sustain a burn. It self-extinguishes the moment the ignition source is removed. There's no acrid smell of melting rubber, no terrifying drip of flaming liquid. This hose doesn't just deliver air or water; it delivers peace of mind. It's the silent guardian on the workshop floor, the shipyard, and the mine, allowing skilled workers to focus on their task with the confidence that their equipment is working to protect them, not endanger them.
Certified Flame Resistance: The most critical feature of this hose is its cover, which is formulated and tested to meet the UL 94 V-0 standard. This means it will stop burning within 10 seconds after the flame is removed and will not drip flaming particles, actively preventing the spread of fire.
Static Dissipation (Anti-Static): This hose is constructed with anti-static properties to safely dissipate static electricity buildup. This is crucial in environments where static sparks could ignite flammable gases, vapors, or dust, providing an essential layer of protection against explosions.
Multipurpose Versatility: While its primary feature is safety, it remains a highly capable general-purpose hose. It is suitable for delivering compressed air, water, and many mild oil-based or water-based chemicals, making it a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of industrial tasks.
Exceptional Durability: Built for the toughest environments. The cover is not only flame-resistant but also highly resistant to oil, abrasion, ozone, and weathering. This ensures the hose can withstand the daily abuse of an industrial job site and provides a long, reliable service life.
The Flame Resistant Multipurpose Hose is a critical safety component in any industry where the risk of fire or explosion is a constant presence.
Welding & Metal Fabrication: The primary application. Used to supply air to pneumatic tools and water for cooling in welding booths and fabrication shops, where it is constantly exposed to sparks and spatter from welding and cutting operations.
Shipbuilding & Offshore Platforms: A mandatory safety requirement. Used throughout shipyards and on oil rigs for air tools, water washdowns, and general utility, where the combination of flammable materials and hot work makes fire safety paramount.
Mining & Underground Operations: Essential for safety in mines. MSHA-approved hoses are used to supply air to pneumatic equipment and for water dousing systems. Their flame-resistant and anti-static properties are non-negotiable for preventing underground fires and explosions.
Construction & Demolition: Used on construction sites, especially those involving structural steel work, welding, or demolition with torches. It provides a safe air supply for tools and water for dust control in high-risk environments.
Chemical & Refining Plants: Used in areas with a risk of flammable vapor or gas leaks. The hose's anti-static and flame-resistant properties make it a safe choice for utility lines and tool operation within hazardous zones of these facilities.
The life-saving performance of this hose is a direct result of its specialized construction, where every layer is engineered to contribute to its overall safety and durability.
Inner Tube: The fluid pathway. This tube is made from a durable synthetic rubber compound that is compatible with air, water, and many mild chemicals. It provides a smooth, sealed conduit that prevents leaks and protects the reinforcement from the fluid being conveyed.
Reinforcement: The structural core. A high-tensile synthetic fabric braid provides the hose with the strength to handle high internal pressures. This reinforcement ensures the hose can withstand the demands of heavy-duty pneumatic tools and high-pressure water delivery without failing.
Cover (The Safety Layer): The most important layer for this application. The cover is a special blend of synthetic rubber compounded with flame-retardant additives. This formulation is what allows it to achieve the UL 94 V-0 rating, self-extinguishing and preventing the spread of flames. It also includes anti-static compounds to safely ground static electricity.
When selecting a safety-critical product like a flame-resistant hose, you are placing your trust in the manufacturer’s commitment to quality and compliance. We distinguish ourselves through an unwavering dedication to safety, deep industry expertise, and a true partnership with our B2B clients.
Uncompromising Safety & Certification: Your team's safety is our highest priority. Our hose is not just “flame-resistant”; it is rigorously tested and certified to meet the UL 94 V-0 and MSHA standards. We provide full documentation and traceability, giving you complete confidence in its performance.
Expertise in High-Risk Environments: We are specialists in industrial safety equipment. Our team understands the specific hazards of welding, mining, and petrochemical environments. We can provide expert guidance on hose selection, safe setup, and maintenance to help you create a safer workplace.
Superior Durability for Lower TCO: We know that downtime is costly. Our hose is built with premium, heavy-duty materials that resist not only fire but also oil, abrasion, and ozone. This superior durability means a longer service life and a lower total cost of ownership compared to lesser-quality alternatives.
Dedicated B2B Partnership & Support: We are committed to your operational safety and efficiency. Our dedicated B2B support team ensures a seamless and responsive experience, from consultation to delivery. We work to understand your specific safety requirements and become a reliable, long-term partner you can trust.
Q1: Is this hose suitable for transferring gasoline or other fuels?
A1: No. This hose is designed for air, water, and mild chemicals. It is not rated for the transfer of flammable liquids like gasoline or solvents. For fuel transfer, you must use a hose specifically designed and certified for that purpose.
Q2: How does the anti-static feature work?
A2: The hose is manufactured with compounds that create a path of low electrical resistance. This allows any static charge that builds up on the hose’s surface to safely flow to a grounded point (like a tool or fitting), preventing a potentially dangerous static spark from forming.
Q3: Can I use this hose for steam applications?
A3: No. The temperature and pressure of steam can exceed the hose’s rated limits and degrade the inner tube and cover materials. For steam applications, a hose specifically designed with a steam-rated tube and reinforcement is required.
Q4: How do I know if my hose is still safe to use after being exposed to sparks?
A4: Inspect the hose regularly. If the cover is charred or cut down to the reinforcement, the hose should be taken out of service and replaced. Minor surface scorching that does not penetrate the cover may not affect performance, but when in doubt, replace the hose for safety.
