Industrial Type 3 fire hose with potable water capability
Rapier – Now with Potable Water Capability
The trusted Rapier fire hose has been enhanced for even greater versatility. It features a robust TPU internal lining that’s seamlessly bonded to its textile reinforcement – ensuring lasting strength and reliability in demanding conditions.
Its tough PVC/Nitrile rubber blend outer cover resists abrasion and wipes clean easily from oils, dirt, and grime. AS 2792 Type 3-certified fire hose in popular sizes, Rapier remains a go-to choice for fire brigades and industrial applications.
New! Rapier is now available with a blue lining that meets AS/NZS 4020 standards for safe drinking water use, making it ideal for temporary water bypass systems in municipal and mining environments.
This lightweight low-volume hose is available in red, with yellow, blue, and green options to help distinguish between fire hose (red) and wash-down hose (blue) on the same industrial site. Rapier requires no drying, stores compactly, and is compatible with a wide range of securely fitted couplings.
Crusader Hose offers a wide range of couplings securely fitted to the hose. A test certificate can be provided if required. This allows you to confidently protect life and property with a fully approved and tested fire hose.

Rapier is available in diameters of 25mm to 102mm. Usually this hose is supplied in 30m lengths but longer lengths can be made up to 200m.
Like all our fire hose, Rapier comes with a 12-month warranty against manufacturing faults. The Rapier is easy to store and does not require drying.
