Angus’ exclusive heavy rib outer cover combines, with a unique Nitrile rubber PVC through-the-weave construction to provide the backbone of performance for Red Chief and Yellow Chief. The heavy rib construction makes the hose highly resistant to cuts, punctures and abrasion. Impact and kink resistant, lightweight and more maneuverable, make Red Chief and Yellow Chief ideally suited to meet the specifications of most municipal fire departments.
