[QUOTE="rgpemt, post: 200742, member: 5684"] Keep looking around your fire stations, hose needs to be tested every year at much higher than normal pressures (600psi) and if there is a failure, the hose is taken out of service. Also check with your local forest ranger, that hose is not as heavy, comes in 100 foot lengths and gets beat up hard on wildland fires. The forest service in Maine replaces thier own hose couplings...that means scrap hose on the floor...may ask about that as well. I would go with 2.5 inch stuff if you can find it, it is about 4 inches layed flat and holds up better than the 1.5 stuff. [/QUOTE]
