ZYfire Fire Hose 1-1/2 in ID
Product description
Choosing a fire hose is partly about reach and partly about whether its fittings match the rest of the setup. This ZYfire line is 100 FT long, with a 1-1/2 in nominal inside diameter and male-to-female NST/NH couplings. If you prioritise a longer run, that length is the main draw, if you prefer easier handling and storage, a shorter hose may suit your setup better.
There’s an important fitting detail to get right before ordering: the coupling is marked with both 1-1/2 in and 1-11/16 in. The latter is the coupling bowl bore, not the hose’s nominal diameter.
Getting the most from it
Plan the route and connection points before unrolling the hose. For example, if the water source is at one end of a work area and the intended response point is farther along, the 100 FT length may help cover that distance without joining shorter sections. The single-jacket construction is described as flexible and abrasion-resistant, while the EPDM lining is intended to resist chemicals. Those properties may matter when a hose needs to be moved around equipment or stored between uses, but they don’t remove the need to handle, inspect and maintain it appropriately.
When selecting an adapter, use the 1-1/2 in NST designation. The 1-11/16 in marking refers to the coupling’s bowl bore and should not be used to choose an adapter. This distinction is easy to miss, and a mismatch could make an otherwise suitable hose unusable with the connection you have.
Why it’s worth it
The stated working pressure is 250 PSI, with a minimum burst pressure of 750 PSI. The product is also listed for a temperature range of -40°F to +140°F. Its jacket is 100% virgin polyester, the lining is EPDM rubber, and the couplings are aluminium. Together, those details make it a purpose-built option for firefighting or emergency water-supply needs rather than a general-purpose garden hose.
The manufacturer states that the hose is certified to UL, ULC and FM standards. That is useful information when certification is part of your selection criteria, though the listing alone doesn’t confirm whether this exact configuration meets every requirement for your site or intended application. It suits you if you need the stated length, pressure rating and NST connections. It isn’t for you if your setup uses a different coupling standard or requires documentation beyond what’s provided here.

When to choose it
Choose this ZYfire hose when a 100 FT reach and 1-1/2 in NST/NH connections suit the planned setup, and when its stated pressure and temperature ratings align with the requirements you’ve been given. According to the manufacturer, it is intended for year-round use and carries UL, ULC and FM certifications. Before settling on it, confirm the required connection standard and any site-specific certification or approval needs. If you need a shorter, more manageable line or a different fitting, another configuration would be the more practical buy.
