The BoostLite 100’ Fire Hose by Mercedes Textiles Limited is a lightweight, thick-walled, flexible fire attack hose with a 1-inch diameter. It’s made of polyurethane lined with the unique Mertex lining for a smoother waterway, greater water flow, extremely low friction loss, and superior lining adhesion. The exterior is treated with yellow Permatex coating, making it highly visible and resistant to abrasion, UV, ozone, and rot degradation.
The spun yarn, all-synthetic single jacket is non-collapsible and is highly kink-resistant with a kink diameter of less than 9 inches. This hose retains its round cross-section when not under pressure and is usually carried on a reel on the fire truck. The 100’ length makes it cost-effective and removes snag problems when going around corners caused by an additional coupling.
Tested to operate at pressures up to 800 psi, the BoostLite Fire Hose is primarily used as a booster reel hose, range control attack hose, wildland brush fire attack hose, and for Compressed Air Foam System (CAFS) applications.
