hose with or without couplings attached, in the trade sizes of 1-1/2,
1-3/4, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 3-1/2, 4, 5, and 6 inch (38, 45, 51, 65, 76, 89, 102,
127, and 152 mm nominal ID). Single-jacketed hose is intended for

kPa). Multiple-jacketed hose or covered hose judged equivalent to
multiple-jacketed hose is intended for service test pressures of 200,
300, or 400 psig (1380, 2070, or 2760 kPa).
1.2 These products are intended for municipal and industrial fire
protection purposes. Single-jacketed hose is for use at fire hydrants,
standpipes, and similar places. They are not intended for hard usage
nor where the hose will be subjected to chafing on rough or sharp
surfaces. Multiple-jacketed hose or covered hose judged equivalent to
multiple-jacketed hose are for use on pumpers and in places where
service conditions require the additional protection against wear
afforded by the extra woven jacket or cover.

periodically inspected and maintained while in service, as outlined in
the Standard for the Care, Use, and Service Testing of Fire Hose
Including Couplings and Nozzles, NFPA 1962.
