Our Made in USA double jacket lay-flat hose meets and exceeds all NFPA 1961 standards. This hose is constructed of an EPDM synthetic rubber tube and a double layer of 100% polyester woven jackets. The rubber lining is a single-ply extruded tube of synthetic EPDM compounded to resist ozone. Double jacket refers to the second layer polyester covering woven from staple polyester yarn added for increased abrasion resistance.

5 inch hoses with storz couplings are more common in the fire service than 5 inch double jacket hoses with expansion ring couplings. Also, 5 inch rubber covered hoses with storz couplings are in stock and less expensive.
