The Layflat Fire Hose Type 3 is a premium, high-performance hose designed for professional firefighting and demanding industrial applications. Constructed with a synthetic woven jacket and a tough elastomeric rubber lining, this hose is covered with an additional protective coating for enhanced abrasion, heat, and chemical resistance—making it ideal for harsh environments and prolonged use.
Unlike Type 1 and Type 2 hoses, Type 3 hoses offer superior durability and long service life, especially where the hose may be dragged over rough surfaces or exposed to external damage. This makes it well-suited for municipal fire brigades, industrial firefighting, and emergency response units.
