At ABC Fire & Safety, we will inspect, test, and re-couple your fire hose in compliance with NFPA1962-2008 Requirements for Testing Occupant-Use Hose
  • 4.3.2. In-service hose intended for occupant use only shall be removed and service-tested as specified in Chapter 7 after the date of manufacture and every 3 years thereafter
  • 4.3.4. In-service hose shall be un-racked, unreeled, or unrolled and physically inspected as specified in Section 4-6 at least annually. Hose shall be re-racked, re-reeled, or re-rolled so that any folds do not occur at the same position on the hose
  • 4.6.1. Physical inspection shall determine that the hose, couplings, and any nozzles have not been vandalized, are free of debris, and exhibit evidence of mildew, rot, or damage by chemicals, burns, cuts, abrasion, and vermin
We also inspect nozzles:
