Storz Fire Hose

FUXEON® Storz fire hoses are versatile, high-pressure hoses suitable for a wide range of scenarios, independently developed and manufactured in the brand's own factories. Unlike standard hoses, their dual-layer composite structure balances stability with durability, making them capable of handling high-pressure water delivery and demanding, harsh operating environments.

The inner layer is made of high-quality rubber, offering excellent sealing and high pressure resistance; this prevents seepage and leakage during high-pressure delivery and ensures stable water pressure. The outer layer is encased in high-density polyester fiber, providing outstanding abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and flame retardancy—enabling the hose to withstand friction from gravel at work sites and exposure to open flames at fire scenes without easily sustaining damage. The hose is lightweight, flexible, and collapsible, making it easy to deploy and store, thereby significantly enhancing the efficiency of emergency operations.

Detailed Technical Specifications

FUXEON® Storz fire hoses are available in a comprehensive range of specifications and can be customized. They come in various diameters, pressure ratings, and lengths to meet diverse operational needs—including fire rescue, industrial production, and agricultural irrigation. Specific parameters are as follows:

Core Product Advantages

1. Fully In-House Production with Rigorous Quality Control

The brand operates complete, independent production lines. Every step—from raw material selection, fiber weaving, and rubber compounding to final product inspection and packaging—is carried out in-house without outsourcing. A comprehensive quality control system is implemented, with every batch undergoing pressure, abrasion, and sealing tests to ensure that substandard products are eliminated at the source.

2. Excellent Cost-Performance & Customization Support

Leveraging an in-house production and direct-sales model, we eliminate intermediaries to offer highly competitive prices without compromising quality. We offer customization options for pipe diameter, length, pressure rating, and coupling specifications to meet the unique operational needs of various industries.

3. High Environmental Adaptability & Long Service Life

The dual-layer composite structure is designed for complex outdoor environments, including extreme temperatures and high humidity. It offers superior resistance to aging and corrosion, ensuring durability against cracking, leaking, or degradation over time. With proper maintenance, its service life far exceeds that of standard single-layer fire hoses.

Real-World Application Case

In December 2024, a fire broke out in a 17-story residential building in Luxi County, Jiangxi Province, prompting an emergency response from local firefighters. Given the building's height and the rapid spread of the fire, responders quickly deployed FUXEON® 40mm Storz fire hoses to supply water for firefighting operations. Compared to traditional 65mm large-diameter hoses, this model is lightweight and flexible, allowing for faster deployment and reduced physical strain on personnel.

Throughout the operation, the hoses withstood continuous high-pressure water flow without leaking or bursting. The stable water supply enabled the team to complete water delivery and fire control tasks three minutes ahead of schedule, effectively containing the blaze and protecting residents' property. This incident fully demonstrated the stability and high-pressure resilience of FUXEON® Storz fire hoses in high-rise firefighting scenarios.

Wide Range of Applications

1. Fire & Emergency Rescue: Suitable for high-rise buildings, schools, public squares, factories, and residential complexes. They allow for rapid connection between fire valves and nozzles, facilitating quick water delivery to combat various building fires.

2. Industrial Water Supply: Ideal for industrial applications such as factory production water supply, construction site water transport, and equipment cooling water circulation, meeting needs for stable, long-distance, high-pressure water delivery.

3. Agricultural Irrigation: Suitable for irrigating farmlands, orchards, and vegetable gardens. Wear-resistant and collapsible, these hoses are easy to deploy, move, and store, solving common issues associated with traditional irrigation hoses, such as fragility and difficulties with long-distance water transport.

4. Marine and Special Applications: Suitable for shipboard water supply, firefighting, emergency drainage, and similar operations; resistant to environmental corrosion and adapted to the unique working conditions found on vessels.

Routine Maintenance Guidelines

1. Standard Storage: After use, clean residual water from the hose's interior and exterior surfaces, coil it neatly, and store it in a dry, well-ventilated area. Maintain storage temperatures between 0°C and 30°C, and avoid direct sunlight, dampness, and mold growth.

2. Long-term Storage: When not in use for extended periods, it is recommended to detach the hose couplings from the main body and store the sealing rings separately to prevent the seals from aging or deforming.

3. Lubrication Requirements: After repeated use, silicone-based lubricants may be applied to the sealing rings to enhance sealing performance and extend service life. The use of petroleum-based lubricants is strictly prohibited, as they can corrode and damage the nitrile rubber material.

FAQ

Q1: What are the core advantages of FUXEON® Storz fire hoses compared to standard fire hoses?

This product features a dual-layer composite structure—a rubber lining combined with a polyester fiber outer layer—distinguishing it from standard single-layer hoses. It offers four key characteristics: high-pressure resistance, abrasion resistance, flame retardancy, and superior sealing. Available in various high-pressure specifications, it resists bursting and leaking during high-pressure operations, offers greater environmental adaptability, and features a stable structure with a longer service life.

Q2: Can this Storz fire hose be used for long-distance or high-rise water delivery?

Yes. The product is available in multiple high-pressure specifications, with a maximum burst pressure of 900 psi, meeting the requirements for long-distance deployment and vertical water delivery in high-rise buildings. Proven in actual high-rise firefighting operations, it maintains stable water pressure without leakage during long-distance or high-elevation delivery, making it fully suitable for emergency rescue and routine long-distance water transport scenarios.

Q3: What are the key precautions regarding daily use and maintenance?

The primary precaution is to avoid using petroleum-based lubricants on the sealing rings; doing so can corrode the rubber lining, leading to aging, cracking, and leakage. Additionally, avoid dragging the hose forcefully over sharp surfaces like gravel or metal edges to prevent damage to the outer fiber layer. Do not store the hose in high-temperature or humid environments for extended periods, as this can cause mold growth, deformation, and material aging.
