10" lay flat 250psi fire hose - ANYONE INTERESTED?

Post by Hebrew Hammer »

Hi All: just came across some 10" lay flat jacketed fire hose rated for 250 psi.

I have lopped of enough to keep me happy for a while. Is anyone interested in getting a piece? How about $7/ft?

Already built my first air bladder with it and it worked great!

The hose is in great shape, I can send pictures if interested.

Cheers,

H.H.

Well, I am in Alaska....and Alaska is big - Along with our hose size!

Got it at an auction from the company that runs the Alaska Pipeline. They have these oversized fire suppresion systems w/some of the best equipment in the world. They are required by state law to have the equipment up to date even though it hasn't seen any use (much like a typical fire department).

Anyway, it wasn't cheap and the $7/ft was so I could at least recover my cost of driving to Fairbanks to pick this up (350 miles). I haven't seen any hose of this size for sale anywhere when I was scouting around to build the ski press. Doubt if you will find it cheaper,
