Optimize fire protection by following the 2009 NFPA 1965's safety standards for hose-connected appliances.
If hose-connected appliances fail or don't work properly, the results can be catastrophic. NFPA 1965: Standard for Fire Hose Appliances establishes basic performance and operational requirements that all hose connected appliances must meet in an effort to improve the usefulness and safety of appliances connected to hose lines.
This Standard cover the requirements for fire hose appliances up to and including 150 mm (6 in.) nominal dimension designed for connection to fire hose, fire apparatus, and fire hydrants and intended for general fire service use in controlling or conveying water. Provisions address:
- Operational design requirements
- Construction materials
- Test methods
- Compliance testing
Together with NFPA® documents that address the fire hose, couplings and connections, and nozzles, NFPA 1965 contributes to a set of standards that are designed to provide consistent requirements for the whole fire hose system.
