INTRODUCING
We're proud to launch our latest innovation evolving small diameter lines for low pressure attack...
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.

You asked; we delivered. We're continuously making it easier for you to Know Your Hose...
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.
