Product Information

Full details

This 20-meter VidaXL Fire Hose is designed for efficient water transport, ideal for users installing water pumps or requiring a durable, long-reach solution. Its key benefit is the smooth PVC lining ensuring unrestricted flow and weather-resistant polyester for longevity. A caveat is that it is not intended for professional firefighters or fixed firefighting systems. Features include a 2-inch diameter, robust aluminum alloy Storz couplings, a 8 bar working pressure, and a lightweight, rollable design for easy storage.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the maximum working pressure of this hose?

The fire hose has a maximum working pressure of 8 bar.

Can this hose be used for professional firefighting?

No, this fire hose is not designed for professional firefighters or fixed firefighting systems.

What type of couplings does this hose have?

The hose features 2-inch C-Storz couplings, made of aluminum alloy.

How should I store the hose?

Roll the hose into coils for easy storage. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.

What is the diameter of the hose?

The diameter of the fire hose is 2 inches.

Can I connect multiple hoses together?

Yes, the Storz couplings on both ends allow you to connect this hose to another hose of the same type to extend the overall length.

Is the hose suitable for all water pump installations?

It is practical for many water pump installations, but ensure the pump's output and pressure requirements are within the hose's specifications (2-inch diameter, 8 bar working pressure).

Troubleshooting

Hose is not delivering full water pressure.

Check for kinks or obstructions in the hose. Ensure couplings are securely fastened and there are no leaks. Verify the water source and pump are operating correctly.

Couplings are difficult to connect or disconnect.

Ensure the Storz couplings are clean and free of debris. Gently wiggle the coupling while connecting or disconnecting. Do not force the connection if resistance is met.

Hose shows signs of wear or leakage.

Inspect the hose for any punctures, tears, or cracks. Minor leaks at the coupling might be due to a worn gasket (if applicable) or improper connection. For significant damage, the hose may need replacement.

Water flow is restricted despite no visible kinks.

The smooth PVC lining should prevent internal blockages, but check the ends of the hose and couplings for any foreign objects. Ensure the water source itself is not restricted.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and weather-resistant material for extended use.
  • Smooth interior lining ensures optimal water flow without blockages.
  • Easy to connect and extend with compatible hoses or nozzles.
  • Lightweight and rolls up compactly for convenient storage and transport.
  • Robust aluminum alloy couplings can withstand significant pressure.

Cons

  • Not suitable for professional firefighting applications.
  • Limited to 8 bar working pressure, unsuitable for high-pressure industrial needs.
  • Storz coupling compatibility is regional and may not fit all systems.
  • Hose diameter of 2 inches may be too large for some smaller pump systems.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To set up, simply connect one end of the hose to your water source or pump outlet using the integrated 2-inch Storz coupling. If extended length is required, connect another hose of the same type using the Storz coupling on the opposite end. For spraying, attach a compatible nozzle to the other end.

Compatibility: The hose features C-Storz couplings, which are standard in countries like Denmark, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Greece, and Australia. Ensure your pump, nozzle, or other hose connections use the same Storz coupling type for a secure fit.

Care: After use, flush the hose with clean water to remove any debris. Allow the hose to dry completely before rolling it up for storage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and sharp objects to prevent damage and ensure longevity. Avoid kinking the hose during storage or use.
