Looking to make a new bladder, whatcha got?

Have you tried asking your local fire department? They typically do testing every year and throw some away that doesn't meet their needs. The hose is still good for our purposes..

Yeah that's where I get it usually but they aren't doing testing till the end of May.

Here in europe you can get decent firehose at builders supplies sold as "construction hose". Same quality and specs like firehose (except certification) and decent price. + they have it in bigger dia. then normal firehoses

I got 8" flat firehose

have you got any product codes / manufacturers? I've been having a terrible time finding something suitable

Well, the one i use is labeled by the reseller, dont know the producer. And afaik this one just sells inside austria.

But they state its made in austria... Look for "Trevira Feuerwehrschlauch" (which is the firehose), maybe you find the producer.

Heres the link to the reseller:

I have some meters of the 110mm and 95mm left. But im off into the mountains now, if you need some and youre not in a hurry i can send it in may....

Btw. Trevira is the outher material. Its a high strength polyester which is temperature resistant.
