Inspector Detail
▸
Common issues
- Coupling corrosion or thread damage preventing a secure connection
- Hose fabric or lining degradation (rot, UV or chemical damage) leading to leaks or burst under pressure
- Gasket/washer deterioration at couplings causing leakage
- Kinking or abrasion damage from improper stowage or flaking
- Mold/mildew growth if stowed wet
- Coupling-to-hose bond failure (pull-off) under pressure
Inspection checklist
- Visual inspection for cuts, abrasion, mildew and discoloration along the full hose length
- Check couplings for corrosion, thread damage, and a secure fit to hydrant and nozzle
- Confirm a serviceable gasket/washer is present at each coupling
- Confirm the hose is correctly flaked and stowed in its box or on the reel per drill routine
- Pressure test per the flag-state/maker schedule - unroll, connect, pressurize, inspect for leaks or bulging
- Verify hose length and diameter match the fire control plan for that station
- Check nozzle operation (jet/spray, shut-off) at each drill
Service intervals
| Visual inspection | monthly as part of routine fire safety rounds |
| Pressure test | per the SOLAS/flag-state fire hose testing schedule, commonly annually |
| Full unroll and reflake | at fire drills, per the SOLAS drill frequency (monthly) |
| Replacement | condition-based, or per the manufacturer's stated service life where specified - confirm against Draeger documentation |
Typical wear limits
| Coupling gasket condition | replace when hardened, cracked, or no longer providing a leak-tight seal at test pressure - condition-based, not a fixed lifespan |
Ranges are typical for this design class. Always confirm against the manufacturer documentation for your serial number.
Critical spares
- Replacement coupling gaskets/washers
- Spare hose lengths matching the station's specified diameter, length and coupling type
- Spare nozzle where applicable
Safety
- A hose under pressure can whip if a coupling fails or the hose bursts - stand clear and secure before charging
- Couplings can be heavy - back/foot injury risk when handling
- Do not use fire hoses for non-fire purposes, as this masks wear that could cause failure in an emergency
Class survey
Fire hoses are SOLAS firefighting equipment subject to the vessel's fire control plan (correct number, length and location) and periodic testing under the flag state's/RO's fire safety inspection regime. The MED type-approval evidenced here confirms design/construction compliance at supply; ongoing compliance is verified through the ship's fire drill and equipment inspection records, checked by surveyors at annual and renewal surveys.
