THE SNAP-TITE HOSE WARRANTY
Under our General Warranty Terms, all industrial use fire hose and agricultural hose are warranted to be free of defects in materials and workmanship for one (1) year from the date of shipment.
8T, Dura-Pak (DP) and Forestry product (8F/7F/2F) lines have a five (5) year warranty against defects in materials or workmanship from the date of shipment; all remaining double jacket, nitrile rubber and polyurethane fire hose products used in the municipal fire industry carry a ten (10) year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship from the date of shipment. Products found to be defective in materials or workmanship will be repaired or replaced at the sole discretion of Snap-tite Hose within the warranty period (for industrial and agricultural hoses) or the first two (2) years of use for all other hoses, and will be replaced on a pro-rata basis (age in use versus warranty period) after two years for products still within the warranty period.
SNAP-TITE GENERAL WARRANTY IS LIMITED AS FOLLOWS:
All returns must be accompanied by an RMA# (Return Materials Authorization) issued by Snap-tite Hose. Unauthorized returns will be refused. All defective products must be returned freight pre-paid to Snap-tite Hose within thirty (30) days of purchaser’s claim. Products or parts must be found to be defective in materials and workmanship upon examination and testing by Snap-tite Hose. If returned goods are found to be defective, inbound freight costs will be refunded.
Total liability is limited to the purchase price of the goods.
Products shall not be considered defective or nonconforming if they substantially fulfill performance requirements and are manufactured in accordance with Snap-tite Hose specifications. This warranty will not extend to goods which have been subject to misuse, improper application, misapplication under conditions not expressly made specifically known to or and approved by Snap-tite Hose in advance of use or which have been repaired or altered by any third party.

DURA-COTE™. YOUR ADVANTAGE ON THE FIREGROUND.
Exclusive Dura-Cote™ hose treatment creates a virtually impenetrable shield that increases hose performance and durability, while extending service life. Dura-Cote is a nitrile/latex (emulsified rubber) material that is force applied—not sprayed—and cross-linked via a high temperature curing process.
Protective Dura-Cote provides superior abrasion, heat and chemical resistance, far surpassing the minimal standards of MIL-H-24606B. Compared to competitive coatings made of urethane or acrylic, nitrile/latex has remarkably better flexibility and ultra-low temperature maneuverability.
• Ten times (10X) more abrasion resistant vs. untreated hose
• Five times (5X) greater flame resistance vs. untreated hose
• Resistant to solvents, oil and other hydrocarbons
• Prevents water pick-up
• Eliminates fungal growth
• U.V. and ozone resistant
• Available in seven vibrant colors for clear identification
