Fire Hose Testing in Fredericksburg, Virginia
Fire hose integrity is a life-safety issue, both for firefighters and the public they protect. Routine testing ensures that every length of hose, coupling, nozzle, and appliance performs flawlessly under pressure when seconds count.
At Liberty, we deliver full on-site fire hose testing and inspection services for attack lines, supply hoses, and specialty hoses, all designed to detect damage before it leads to failure in the field. Our EVT-certified technicians keep your hoses NFCP compliant and guarantee your department’s equipment meets or exceeds all safety and performance requirements.
What Our Fire Hose Testing Includes
Each hose that passes inspection receives a unique identification label and an annual service test certification verifying compliance with NFPA. Our program covers:
- Removal of the hose from the apparatus or storage racks
- Labeling and identification
- Detailed inspection
- Cleaning and inspection
- Pressure testing
What Are the Standard Service Testing Procedures for Fire Hoses?
Service testing ensures hose reliability by gradually pressurizing up to 300 feet of hose, checking for leaks or coupling movement, and holding test pressure for one minute per 100 feet to confirm strength and integrity.
Why Routine Hose Testing Matters
Hoses degrade over time due to UV exposure, chemical contact, repeated pressurization, and general wear. Regular service testing verifies that your hoses perform as designed and extends their lifespan, reduces liability, and prevents on-scene failures. Hoses that fail are tagged, documented, and removed from service pending repair or replacement.
