Fire Hose for Brazil Market

Navigating fire safety regulations can be complex, and in Brazil, choosing the right fire hose is critical. The country classifies fire hoses into five distinct types based on their specific application, construction, and required pressure rating. Understanding these classifications is the first step to ensuring safety and compliance.

At Seapeak, we've broken down Brazil's fire hose standards to help you make an informed decision.

Brazil's Five Fire Hose Classifications

Type 1: Residential Buildings

• Application: Designed exclusively for use in residential buildings like apartment complexes and condominiums.

• Construction: Single Jacket with an EPDM or Nitrile Rubber lining.

• Working Pressure: 10 bar

Type 2: Commercial & Public Buildings

• Application: Suitable for commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and fire department use where higher pressure is needed.

• Construction: Single Jacket with an EPDM or Nitrile Rubber lining.

• Working Pressure: 14 bar

Type 3: Naval & Heavy-Duty Industrial Use

• Application: Built for demanding environments such as shipbuilding, naval applications, and heavy industrial sites.

• Construction: Double Jacket for superior durability, with an EPDM or Nitrile Rubber lining.

• Working Pressure: 15 bar

Type 4: High-Abrasion Industrial Environments

• Application: Ideal for industrial areas and fire departments where hoses face significant physical wear and tear.

• Construction: Single Jacket with an abrasion-resistant extruded PVC outer layer over an EPDM or Nitrile Rubber lining.

• Working Pressure: 14 bar

Type 5: Petrochemical & High-Risk Industries

• Application: Engineered for the most hazardous environments, including industrial plants and petrochemical facilities.

• Construction: Single Jacket protected by a heavy-duty rubber outer layer for exceptional abrasion and thermal resistance.

• Working Pressure: 14 bar

Which Hose is Right for You?

In Brazil, Type 1 and Type 2 hoses are the most commonly used, covering the vast majority of residential and commercial needs. However, for specialized industrial applications, selecting a Type 3, 4, or 5 hose is essential for safety and longevity.
