MIL-DTL-24595 – Non-Collapsible Fire-Fighting Hose
MIL-DTL-24595 establishes standards for non-collapsible firefighting hose assemblies, specifically designed for shipboard and naval firefighting operations. Fire suppression systems aboard military vessels must be highly reliable, and this specification ensures that hoses remain rigid and operational under high water pressures, even in extreme heat and harsh marine environments. These hoses are built with reinforced inner linings and rugged outer covers that resist chemical exposure, abrasion, and thermal stress. The non-collapsible design prevents hose failure when subjected to high flow rates, making them indispensable for firefighting teams on naval ships, submarines, and aircraft carriers. Compliance with this MIL-SPEC ensures that firefighting hoses can quickly and efficiently control onboard fires, protecting personnel and mission-critical assets.
