Product Information

Full details

This 30-meter, 3-inch VidaXL fire hose is designed for general water transport needs, particularly for use with water pumps in non-professional settings. Its key benefit is reliable water flow thanks to a smooth PVC lining and durable construction. A significant caveat is that this hose is not intended for professional firefighting or fixed firefighting systems. It features weather-resistant materials, robust aluminum alloy couplings, and a flat design for easy storage.

Troubleshooting

Hose is not delivering sufficient water flow.

Check for kinks or bends in the hose. Ensure the water pump is functioning correctly and has adequate suction. Verify that the Storz couplings are fully secured and not leaking. Clean the internal lining if debris is suspected.

Couplings are difficult to connect or disconnect.

Inspect the Storz couplings for dirt, debris, or damage. Clean them thoroughly. Ensure you are aligning the locking mechanism correctly during connection and pressing the release tabs during disconnection.

Hose appears to be leaking.

Examine the hose for any visible punctures or tears. Check the integrity of the Storz couplings and their seals. If a leak is detected in the hose body, it may require repair or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and weather-resistant material for longevity.
  • Smooth internal lining ensures consistent water flow without blockages.
  • Storz couplings allow for easy connection and extension.
  • Lightweight and easy to store when rolled up.
  • Suitable for general water pump applications.

Cons

  • Not suitable for professional firefighting applications.
  • Not designed for use in fixed firefighting systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unroll the hose to its full length.
  2. Ensure the Storz couplings are clean and free of debris.
  3. Connect one end to your water pump outlet using the Storz coupling.
  4. Connect the other end to a nozzle or another hose section if needed, ensuring a secure fit.

Compatibility:

  • The 3-inch B-storz couplings are designed for compatibility with other 3-inch Storz fittings. Ensure any accessories or other hoses you connect use the same coupling standard.
  • This hose is compatible with water pumps that have a 3-inch Storz outlet or can be adapted to one.

Care:

  • After each use, drain the hose completely to prevent water stagnation and potential freezing.
  • Clean the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Store the hose loosely coiled or flat in a dry, shaded area, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Periodically inspect couplings for damage or leaks.
