Make sure hose-connected appliances meet approved safety standards!

If hose-connected appliances fail or don't work properly, the results can be catastrophic. This first edition of NFPA 1965: Standard for Fire Hose Appliances establishes basic performance and operational requirements that all hose connected appliances must meet in an effort to improve the usefulness and safety of appliances connected to hose lines.

Provisions address:

• Operational design requirements
• Construction materials
• Test methods
• Compliance testing

Together with NFPA documents that address the fire hose, couplings and connections, and nozzles, NFPA 1965 completes a set of standards that are designed to provide consistent requirements for the whole fire hose system.
