PROTECTIVE HOSE ASSEMBLY HAVING FIRE RESISTANCE CAPABILITIES FOR FLUID DELIVERY SYSTEMS AND APPLICATIONS

摘要

A fire resistant hose assembly having fire resistance capabilities for low flow, high temperature fluid applications, such as for fluid delivery systems and applications. The fire resistant hose assembly meets fire test requirements for no- or low-flow applications without the need of an external covering. The fire resistant hose assembly generally comprises a length of composite hose comprising a flexible bulk hose material, a silicon fire sleeve extruded or otherwise molded over the flexible bulk hose material, and a slip-on fire sleeve covering at least a portion of the silicon sleeve. The fire resistant hose assembly further comprises a removable or retractable fire protective boot adjacent to an end of the composite hose and covering a nut or other metallic connecting member coupled to the end of the composite hose, thereby providing further fire resistance capabilities.
