I am trying to determine if there is a standard for service life for fire hose. In the past we have used hose until it fails the annual test. We recently threw out a section of 2 1/2 from the early 80's. About a third of our hose in service now is from the early 90's. It all passes the annual, but....
Does your department have a set time frame before hose is replaced? Does it vary by hose size or type?
Any help would be appreciated.
