Rapier Fire Hose - L/A BIC Coupling Set - Rapier Hose is a popular choice with both fire brigades and industrial plant fire protection. It is a high pressure Type 3 fire hose, which is manufactured with an extruded synthetic rubber cover. This extruded cover protects the hose against abrasion and chemical damage and is highly chemical and abrasion resistant. The layflat hose is protected from being stained by oils and dirt. The Rapier is usually supplied in 30m lengths but longer lengths, up to 200m, can be made. The Rapier is easy to store and is also UV stabilised so it stands up well to prolonged outdoor use.
