White 1 1/2" x 50' Single Jacket USCG / UL Hose (Brass NPSH Couplings)

Due to supply chain issues brass couplings may be imported. If you require domestic couplings please call to place your order. There will be a surcharge and lead time is unknown. There is no change to the hose itself, which is woven and manufactured in the USA. We will switch back to U.S. manufactured couplings as soon as we are able.

Our 1 1/2 inch Made in USA fire hose is manufactured to this specification shall meet and exceed all performance requirements of NFPA 1961 and Underwriter’s Laboratories standards. Hose shall be listed as an approved USA/ULC product. Manufactured to UL-19 standards as specified in "CFR 118.320 Fire Hoses and Nozzles".

NOTE: UL listed hoses are now stenciled. Rubber labels are now longer available. The most common 1 1/2 inch marine hose is coupled with brass NPSH threads. Please verify thread type before ordering.
