How to use fire hose and how to choose it?

Fire hoses are commonly used in various water supply and drainage operations. Our common ones are pvc-lined hoses and polyurethane-lined hoses. Many people use them for the first time or use less. They don’t know how to use fire hoses and how to choose them. Let's talk about the use of fire hoses and related matters of selection techniques.

1. How to use fire hose
1. First check whether the hose, water gun and connector are intact. If they are damaged, they cannot be used.
2. Lay the hose. At this time, pay attention to avoid contact with sharp objects and oily items during the laying process, and be sure not to bend the fire hose.
3. When connecting the hose, insert the connecting buckle into the chute accurately, tighten it in a clockwise direction, and connect the other end to the water gun in the same way.
4. After use, clean the fire-fighting belt. The foamed fire-fighting hose must be carefully washed to protect the glue layer. After washing, dry it in the air, roll it and place it, and keep it away from heat sources and acid-alkaline items when storing.

If you want to do a good job in water supply and drainage, you must choose a good quality hose and choose a fire hose that suits you. Generally, we should do this when choosing:
