Fire Hose usually comes in too varieties. Fire hose can be uncovered canvas hose, or it can be further reinforced with a protective extruded covering of plastic or rubber.

Related Words : Flexible Hoses, Flexible Riser, Rising Main, Flexible Rising Main, Flexibore, Flexible Water Pipe

Definition : A Flexible Hose is a hose which is flexible to make it more versatile than a rigid pipe and therefore more useful in situations requiring adaptation. Flexible Hose can be coiled and stored easily and is also good for mobile work where fixed rigid pipes would be inappropriate.

Related Words : Flexible Rising Main, water systems, riser hose, riser pipe, flexible water pipe, ground water extraction

Definition : A Flexible Riser is a riser pipe using a lay flat hose. Flexible Risers are used to pump ground water from an aquifer into a water system at ground level.

Related Words : Flexible Riser, Rising Main, riser pipe, riser hose, ground water extraction

Definition : A Flexible Rising Main is another term for a flexible riser. A flexible rising main has advantages over steel bore risers in that it is safer and more efficient. Flexible rising mains are also easier to install and maintain and have very long service lives.

Related Words : Flexible Riser, Rising Main, Flexible Rising Main, Flexibore

Definition : A Flexible Water Pipe is a reinforced hose which is flexible and can be used, coiled and stored easily. Flexible water pipes are often used for potable water (drinking water) and in crop watering systems. They are also versatile and are easy to deploy and retrieve around obstacles and structures where a fixed rigid pipe would be cumbersome and access is limited. A perfect example of this would be within a mine shaft or a tunnel where the flexibility of the water system is essential to get the job done.

Related Words : Fuel Hoses, industrial hose, petroline, marine refuelling, bunkering, boat refuelling

Definition : A Fuel Hose is a specially designed hose which is suitable for hydrocarbon pumping. You can get a flexible fuel hose which can be easily stored due to it's lay flat properties. Fuel Hose is typically stored on ships, on reels in the hold of a boat or ship, or in a marina. An important element is an anti-static wire for spark safety.
