S U P E R I O R
Dear Customer,
P R O D U C T
Niedner is celebrating 110 years of continuous operation in 2005. As the oldest
manufacturer of fire hose in North America, Niedner can attribute its longevity to our
inherent desire and ability to supply you, the customer, with the products you want.
T H AT
In the early 1980’s, Niedner pioneered the development of lightweight hose using
DesmopanTM and EncapTM. Further improvements to these products in the 1990’s led to
the development of lightweight E.P.D.M. rubber lined hose and DALCOATTM superior
protective coating. In the late 1990s we introduced REELTEX®, a lightweight rigid reel
hose and GLOTEKTM a retro-reflective hose. In the year 2000 we began working with
the automotive industry on specialized products.
S U P P O R T S
The new millennium brought about further innovations in products such as DOUBLE 5
BRANDTM, TIDALWAVE 600TM, POWERLINE®, and HOTSTOP®.
Y O U
DOUBLE 5 BRANDTM, and TIDALWAVE 600TM made feasible the efficient delivery of large
volumes of water at high pressures for the protection of petro-chemical installations.
POWERLINE® introduced a new concept in hose to reduce the kinking tendencies in
lightweight hose when using low-pressure nozzles. Finally, HOTSTOP® incorporated
ARAMID yarns to raise the burn and abrasion resistance of the ever-popular REELTEX®
hose to a new level. These new developments continue our commitment to be the company
that will produce the lightest, most rugged and durable hoses available in the market
today.
I N
We thank you for selecting Niedner products.

In Memory of
WILLIAM T. TROUTNER
June 15, 1939 - Feb 10, 2004
To all who knew him on a professional basis, Tom
Troutner was the quintessential salesman. However,
he was much more than that; he was a Husband and
Father, a U.S. Marine, and a Niedner Associate, but
above all else he was a true friend. Tom would do
whatever it took to support another’s endeavors; he
always had a cheerful quip or humorous anecdote to
lift one’s spirits; and Tom was always willing to assist
others, even at the expense of his own projects.
Persons like Tom Troutner are very rare indeed and
may only come along once in a lifetime. All who knew
him are truly thankful to have had the privilege of
sharing a small part of this great man’s life.
He is sorely missed by all.
“A true gentleman and a
great pleasure to have worked with”.

Over the past 20 years or so I have been selling forestry hose to
Dept. of Forest Resources & Agrifoods, Provincial Parks, fire
departments, chalets, etc. with very good success. To date we
have never had a negative comment made regarding Niedner
forestry hose or other hoses manufactured by Niedner.
The service level of Niedner is one of the best in the industry.
We have been able to contact a representative of Niedner on all
forest fire emergencies with all requirements being met or
exceeded regardless of day or time.

With a design similar to REELTEX®, HOTSTOP® has greater heat and abrasion resistance by using the Aramid™ fiber in
place of the polyester. This extends the melt point to 750°F (399°C) and the burn point to 800°F (427°C). All performance
features of REELTEX® above apply equally to HOTSTOP®, but with standard yellow ENCAP®. When using HOTSTOP® with
foam eductor systems, normal hose lay limits may change. Note reel diameter minimum requirements in chart below.

CARE & HANDLING OF NIEDNER LAY FLAT HOSE & COUPLINGS
To obtain the most from your fire hose investment, and to extend the useful life of the hose, prudent care and handling
procedures should be followed. Niedner’s philosophy is to design and to manufacture a fire hose that is lighter in
weight, more compact for packing, and totally compliant with the requirements of NFPA. The following care and handling suggestions will ensure long Niedner Hose life with optimum performance.
General Care
Even though most Niedner hose products are made with synthetic components, and this hose may be stored without
having to be dried, foreign materials trapped in the weave of the hose might be a breeding ground for mildew. Mildew
will not attack the hose physically, but may look unpleasant and could have an odor. Therefore, it is recommended that
dirty hose be cleaned with a mild detergent (not a solvent), and then be dried before reloading on the truck or storing.
When left stored for any length of time, either on a rig or in storage, hose should be exposed to freely circulating air.
Hose Bed Storage
Fire hose should always be loaded into the hose bed flat, and not on its edge. Loading flat will avoid the premature hose
wear that can occur when hose is loaded on its edge. Large diameter hose should also be loaded flat, with the couplings
together in a space all the way forward in the hose bed. Periodically, hose beds and surrounding surfaces should be
inspected for any sharp burrs, protrusions, rough edges or corners. If noted, these hose-damaging imperfections must be
corrected before loading hose. A hose bed cover is recommended to prevent prolonged exposure of the hose to sunlight.
Draining Hose
Under some circumstances when fire hose is drained, it is possible for the inner jacket to collapse and to fold over on
itself. This may appear as a twist, but it is not, and it can be easily corrected. Slowly recharge the hose, removing all
kinks and twists, and then allow the hose to drain slowly. If needed, roll the couplings over so that the hose is in its
original lay flat position. This is easily done if the hose still has some water in it. If the hose is not laid on an incline,
walking a pike pole its length should drain it completely. If laid on an incline, cap or fold over the high end, then allow
the hose to drain at the low end. This will allow the hose to pull itself flat as it drains, and then may be ready to reload
onto the pumper.
Testing & Inspection
As with all fire hose, Niedner hose should be inspected and service tested annually. Follow the guidelines of NFPA 1962,
Current Edition. Any physical damage to hose should be addressed immediately. The purpose of the outside hose jacket
is functional, but if damaged, the hose should be withdrawn from service. The interior of the hose should also be visually
and manually inspected. If damage is evident, hose should be cut back and re-coupled. If the interior damage extends
far into the hose, it may be defective. Bring this to the attention of your local distributor or the manufacturer. If hose is
re-coupled for any reason, that length must be re-tested before being placed back in service. See NFPA 1962, Current
Edition.
Couplings
Coupling gaskets for threaded or Storz couplings should be replaced when they become hard or cracked. Storz couplings
should be lubricated at least twice a year. A dry silicone spray, or other lubricant that will not attract dirt or sand, nor be
affected by heat or cold, should be applied to the Storz lugs, locks, and raceway. Do not lubricate the coupling gaskets or
seals.

I have been selling the Delta Hydro hose testers from Niedner for the past five years.
I have found them to be of high quality, safe, efficient and easy to operate. Problems
which have occurred were from a lack of training; the new service manual which
comes with each tester has taken care of that problem. I would recommend the Delta
Hydro Hose tester for any Fire Department.

POLYESTER versus NYLON
NIEDNER® prefers to use polyester instead of nylon because it makes a quality fire hose! The reason why some manufacturers use
nylon in their fire hoses, even though it is slightly more expensive than spun polyester, is that it has a lower specific gravity that means
a pound of the material goes further. This alone accounts for about a 10% gain in yield.
A
Nylon yarn is typically only available in a filament form as compared to the polyester that has been spun into a yarn. In order to approximate
the physical dimensions and appearance of spun polyester, the nylon filament is bulked by means of crimping and air entanglement, which
enables the same amount of yarn to occupy more space. Filament yarn is quite small in diameter and because of the high strength of the
synthetic yarns, one would have to use far more than is structurally necessary just to ensure adequate coverage of the outer circumference of
the hose. By bulking up the yarn, less nylon can be used to achieve the same coverage.
S U P E R I O R
Because the yarn has been bulked it is not very stable and therefore any outside forces that act upon it try to return it to its original form.
That is when the problems start to occur. Weaving tension such as that needed in a circular loom is one such force. Once woven, the yarn
closely resembles a filament yarn that is very slippery, and does not cling well to itself, therefore resulting in a very flimsy jacket. The
filament is also very susceptible to any abrasive objects that can snag and easily cut it. It is for this reason that a nylon hose cannot be
obtained without a Hypalon treatment, which acts as a binder holding the whole thing together.
P R O D U C T
Spun polyester, on the other hand, is physically stable because it was a filament yarn that was cut into staple and then spun into a yarn.
There has been no falsification of its dimensions and it therefore remains intact. It also has a very high friction co-efficient between its
neighboring yarns, which means that the yarns do not easily slip back and forth between each other, thus resulting in a sturdier jacket.
Nylon is hydroscopic in nature. That means it will chemically absorb water into its molecular structure, in the order of ten times higher
than polyester. It also accounts for a 10% reduction in physical properties. In other words nylon is weaker when it is wet.
The melt temperature for both nylon and polyester is in the 500°F (260°C) range.
T H AT
ENCAP™ versus HYPALON
Dupont developed Hypalon, which is the proprietary name of the Dupont Company, for chlorosulphanated polyethylene for the
automotive industry. Its heat, oil, chemical, and abrasion resistance are still today unsurpassed with the exception of some of the new
and exotic silicone and flouroelastomers.
S U P P O R T S
It was these properties that prompted fire hose manufacturers to use Hypalon on fire hose. It exhibited all the properties that fire hose
at the time were lacking. The only problem was that the price of the Hypalon polymer was rather high and prohibitive. But like all good
rubber compounders knew, the polymer could be mixed with clays, oil extenders and various other fillers. Low and behold, the price per
pound was in an acceptable range. It also could be compounded with any number of pigments to give any color under the sun.
Now the problem was to find a way to apply Hypalon to the hose jacket. This was accomplished by dissolving roughly 5% compounded
rubber into 95% solvent. The jacket was then dipped in the mixture and the solvent driven off. The original Hypalon rubber was now diluted
beyond the point where it could hope to be very effective. It did, however, provide a limited degree of penetration and hence some
binding of the fibers. It performs best on air-entangled nylon. Because of all the air pockets in this yarn, the mixture does penetrate and
bind the yarns together. Without it, the nylon would not stand a chance (could you imagine if we were to put ENCAP™ on this nylon).
Y O U
The degree of increase in heat resistance was zero, and abrasion and chemical resistance was minimal at that. It was clearly time that
Hypalon move over to make way for a more sophisticated encapsulation process, Niedner® ENCAP™.
I N
ENCAP™ is a spin-off of polyurethane emulsion that was primarily developed for the rope and cable industry for use in marine applications.
It was intended to act as a binder to keep the rope together as well as protecting it from the harsh marine environment. Now,
compounded specifically for fire hose, it is performing the same duties.
S AV I N G
Because ENCAP™ is a polyurethane resin, its melting point is roughly the same as that of polyester yarn. It therefore does not offer any
significant increase in heat resistance. It does however, encapsulate all the fibers of an already very tightly woven jacket and bind these
to the point whereby the abrasion resistance is increased 500% over the untreated version, and 400% over Hypalon impregnated
products. The chemical resistance of ENCAP™ is phenomenal. Gasoline and solvents that would strip Hypalon from a hose do not have
any effect on ENCAP™ at all.
L I V E S
In the past, some problems were encountered in that certain colors were fading prematurely. This was a problem with the pigment only.
Even with the color completely dissipated, the ENCAP™ resin still remained intact and functional. Today, these problems of fading
colors are behind us.
The main reason for the poor performance of Hypalon was due to the fact of its being too highly diluted. As compounded, the ENCAP™
emulsion contains roughly 40% solids (2.5% for Hypalon). This is why more resin is being imparted to the hose jacket. This increased
amount of resin, as well as its natural ability to resist most disruptive elements, is why ENCAP™ is favored among end users.

SPEC SHEET
NIEDNER® offers many features which are not readily apparent in a condensed presentation such as this product line catalog. A
few of our principal products are outlined in this catalog. Your NIEDNER Regional Sales Managers, Customer Service or Niedner®
Distributor will be happy to assist you in learning more about the benefits of our fire hose contained herein or other specially
developed products not described here.
LINING
T.P.U
Many of the hose products are made with T.P.U. lining in lieu of the conventional SBR rubber lining. T.P.U. is an elastomeric polymer
made from a polyester-polyether compound. NIEDNER® extrudes this lining thus ensuring the tightest quality control. This special
fire hose lining compound offers these unique features:
* Flexibility at –60°F (-51°C)
* Tear strength three times greater than rubber
* Maximum resistance to hydrolysis (NL 8103-80)
* No plasticizer to weaken adhesion or leach out to cause lining
stiffness and cracking
* No edge stress cracks as in direct extrusion processes to cause
eventual lining failure
* Approved for potable water use
* Virtually immune to aging and microbial attack
* Resistant to pure mineral oil, petroleum,
hydrocarbons, most solvents and greases, weathering,
ozone and ultra-violet light
* Maximum temperature for water flow is approximately
140°F (60°C)
* Maximum temperature for hot air flow is approximately
150°F (66°C)
E.P.D.M.
As an alternative to T.P.U., NIEDNER® also offers a lightweight E.P.D.M. rubber lining that provides comparable weight and compactness
to that of T.P.U while at the same time retaining the desirable characteristics of rubber lined hose. Maximum temperature for water
flow is of approximately 160°F (71°C).
JACKETS
NIEDNER ® offers circular woven jackets using cotton, filament polyester or spun polyester yarns woven in either plain
(conventional) or bias weaves. Where abrasion is a problem, especially with single jacket hoses, the bias weave is especially
designed to increase abrasion resistance by at least 50%. This is accomplished, in part, by the warp yarns offering 50% more
coverage of the filler yarns without adding additional material.
The outside of the hose can withstand temperatures in the short term of approximately 350°F (176°C) and not to exceed 250°F
(121°C) in the long term.
TREATMENT
ENCAP™
High performance polymeric dispersion. Due to the nature of the polymer and the process by which it is applied, ENCAP™ virtually
encapsulates every fiber of the outer jacket substrate thereby imparting superior physical properties such as:
* Abrasion resistance gain of 500%¸
* Resistance to pure mineral oils, petroleum, hydrocarbons and most solvents and greases
* Virtually immune to fungal growth
* Minimal water retention versus untreated hoses
* Excellent U.V. resistance
* A wide variety of colors: yellow, green, red, blue, clear (white), beige (tan), orange and purple
DALCOAT™ and DRAFTKOTE™
High performance outer jacket coatings that when applied offer exceptional abrasion and chemical resistance. These are particularly
desirable for industrial applications where damage from abrasion and absorption of contaminants must be kept to a minimum.
TESTING
Each length of NIEDNER ® double jacket fire hose is guaranteed to be tested, coupled or uncoupled, before leaving the
factory. Certifications of these tests are available from the factory upon request. Effective July 1, 1988, all hose is required to be
tested in accordance with the most current edition of NFPA 1961. NIEDNER® complies with these guidelines as evidenced by all
the products contained in this catalog.
FINISHED HOSE
Combining modern high-speed looms with the latest lining technology provides a thoughtfully designed hose product with features such as:
* 1/3 less storage area
* 1/2 product weight
* Minimum twist, warp and elongation
* Maximum strength to weight ratio
* Maximum cold temperature resistance
* Flexibility to –60°F (-51°C)
* Versatility in product design
* Maximum resistance to mildew, deterioration, ozone and cracking
* Oversize waterways for increased flow and decreased friction loss
while using NFPA compliant couplings

Lining, EPDM rubber
Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer is a synthetic rubber that has excellent inherent resistance to UV
and ozone. It extrudes smoothly producing a thinner, flexible lightweight tube. It is slightly thicker than
Thermoplastic Urethane Liner but yields a hose only minimally heavier and bulkier. The heavier wall
gives slightly better kink resistance than Thermoplastic Urethane lined hoses.
Lining, SBR rubber
Styrene Butadiene Rubber is a synthetic general-purpose rubber compounded for many uses including
hose tubing. It is typically extruded in a thicker wall than EPDM rubber and Thermoplastic Urethane
Liner, and hence yields a heavier bulkier hose. The UV and ozone resistance is poor unless specifically
compounded for that purpose. The heavier wall imparts better kinking resistance.
Lining, T.P.U.
Thermoplastic Urethane is a high performance polyurethane elastomer that can be extruded into a very
thin-walled tube for use in fire hose. It has a very high tensile strength compared to rubber compounds
and has excellent UV and ozone resistance. Remains extremely flexible at low temperatures. It yields
an extremely lightweight and compact hose.
Listed
Equipment, materials, or services included in a list published by an organization that is acceptable to
the authority having jurisdiction over and concern about products or services; that maintains periodic
inspection of production of listed equipment or materials or periodic evaluation of services; and whose
listing states that either the equipment, material, or service meets identified standards or has been
tested and found suitable for a specified purpose.

Niedner traces its origin back to 1895 when Charles Niedner immigrated to North America and began manufacturing linen fire
hose in Malden, Massachusetts. In the first half of the 21st century, linen fire hose represented a significant portion of the
requirements in forestry and interior fire protection. The Malden plant expanded in size, and business increased to the point
where a second manufacturing facility was built in Coaticook, Quebec in 1914. This plant was added to in several stages and
finally retired in 1992. During that same year Niedner invested $3,300,000 and built a new manufacturing center. This state of
the art facility consists of in excess of 80,000 square feet (7,400 square meters) exclusively devoted to the research, development
and manufacturing of rigid and lay flat liquid distribution hoses, destined for both domestic and export production.
In 1953 Wajax Limited purchased Niedner. In the early 1970’s when it was evident that the product line was too limited to
offer long-term growth, a substantial investment was made in the latest technology which would ensure a viable future in the
fire hose industry. The fire hose operations of American Biltrite (Canada) Limited were acquired and a facility was added in
York, Pennsylvania. In December 1995, a newly formed company called the Wildfire Group purchased the Fire Control Division
of Wajax Limited. In February 2000, Tyco International Inc. purchased the Wildfire Group. Niedner purchased the hose tester
portion of Delta Industries in May of 2001 and commenced manufacturing of the hose testers in June of that same year.
The commitment of Tyco will ensure the continued growth and dedication to our present and future customer needs. The
total of these changes permits Niedner to offer a wide range of products in both traditional woven-jacketed, rubber-lined
fire hose and lightweight, polyurethane lined hose that Niedner pioneered in North America. These lightweight products
have now been manufactured for over thirty years and represent a major portion of Niedner’s production. Features such as
weight reduction, reduced storage space, flexibility at extremely low temperatures and an increased strength-to-weight ratio
have allowed Niedner to become a major supplier to the forestry, municipal, industrial, interior protection,
government and snowmaking markets.
An ongoing commitment to the development of new products and manufacturing methods guarantees
Niedner will be recognized for years to come as a world leader in the hose industry.
