Frequently Asked Questions

Type 2 layflat hoses that have been cared for properly can last for around 12 years. After 12 years, it is recommended to replace the lay-flat hose to ensure continued high-quality service and continued pressure. Hose repair kits can be purchased in the meantime to fix small punctures and tears.

The psi of a layflat hose varies depending on the dimension and the diameter of the hose. The PSI (pressure per square inch) typically fall into three categories- low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure. The PSI for each hose can be found on the product listing on the Parsch UK website.

Fire hoses come in a variety of colours and are often used to identify the correct hose, or the most frequently used hose pipes, for ease of use in an emergency. The most common hose colours are red, blue and yellow. The colour coating also helps with providing additional durability.
