FRESH & FLOWING

We've explained that LPX Technology is a reinforcement of the nozzle-end of the small diameter line to add stability and minimize whip or kinking during low pressure attack. Now let’s back up to look at the WHY… Kevin Pfluger & Kevin Moul explain what realities pushed the need for small diameter reconsideration and how LPX Technology advances the line to meet those challenges…
What're You Pulling?


Evolving the small diameter line for low pressure attack, patent-pending LPX technology reinforces only the nozzle-end of the hose to minimize whip & kinking for increased control.


The most advanced double-jacketed 2” (51mm) attack hose capable of delivering targeted flows of 210-300 GPM with up to 30% less weight compared to standard 2.5" lines.


Designed for aggressive fire fighting applications where durability coupled with lightweight, excellent low pressure kink resistance and superior water flow are critical factors.
