Fire Hose ZYfire 2-1/2″ ID x 50 FT Jacket EPDM with Aluminum Couplings

Description

Product Overview

The ZYfire 2-1/2″ ID fire hose is engineered for demanding firefighting and residential water tasks. Constructed with a double‑jacket of 100% virgin polyester, the hose offers exceptional abrasion resistance and flexibility, allowing it to be bent around obstacles without kinking. The inner conduit is EPDM, a synthetic rubber known for its excellent resistance to heat, chemicals, and aging, ensuring a long service life even under harsh conditions. Each end of the hose features a 2-1/2″ National Standard Thread (NST/NH) aluminum coupling—one male and one female—providing a lightweight yet robust connection that meets industry standards for fire hydrant and fire apparatus interfaces. With a maximum working pressure of 1200 psi burst rating and a service pressure of 400 psi, the hose delivers reliable water flow at high pressures while maintaining structural integrity. The hose measures 50 feet in length and weighs 23.8 pounds, offering a balance between portability and reach for both professional fire crews and homeowners who need a dependable water delivery solution.

Usage

This hose is suited for a wide range of scenarios. Fire departments can deploy it as a primary line for interior attacks, exterior supply, or as a backup hose in high‑rise operations where flexibility and lightweight handling are critical. Contractors working on construction sites may use it for fire watch duties, temporary water supply, or cooling applications. Homeowners benefit from its ease of storage and rapid deployment for garden irrigation, pool filling, or emergency fire suppression in garages and workshops. The hose performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -40 °F to +140 °F, making it suitable for seasonal use in cold winters and hot summers. Its resistance to oil, gasoline, and other common chemicals found in industrial environments further expands its applicability across diverse sectors.

FAQ

What is the difference between the NST and NH thread markings?

Both NST (National Standard Thread) and NH (National Hose) refer to the same 2‑1/2″ thread size used in fire service applications. The markings indicate compatibility with standard fire hydrant and apparatus fittings, ensuring the hose can connect to a wide range of equipment without adapters.

Can this hose be used for irrigation or garden watering?

Yes. While the hose is designed for firefighting, its flexible EPDM core and durable polyester jacket make it suitable for garden irrigation, pool filling, and other residential water tasks. The 50‑foot length provides ample reach for most yard applications.

How does the hose perform in extreme temperatures?

The hose is rated for operation from -40 °F to +140 °F. The EPDM inner tube resists cracking in cold weather, and the polyester jacket maintains flexibility in high heat, allowing reliable performance across seasonal extremes.

Is the hose compatible with standard fire hydrant adapters?

Yes. The 2‑1/2″ NST/NH male and female aluminum couplings are designed to mate directly with standard fire hydrant adapters and fire apparatus connections, eliminating the need for additional fittings.

What warranty does ZYfire offer for this fire hose?

ZYfire provides a limited warranty that covers manufacturing defects for a period of one year from the date of purchase. Should any issue arise related to material or workmanship, the company will repair or replace the hose at no cost to the customer, subject to warranty terms.
