Being in the shipping industry for the last 40 years we fully understand and follow up with the vital safety regulations imposed from time to time and their importance to the owners and operators.

Within those vital regulations is the replacement of CO2 hoses as per IMO regulation MSC.1/Circ.1318 GUIDELINES FOR THE MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTIONS OF FIXED CARBON DIOXIDE FIRE-EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS under 6.1.2 states “Flexible hoses should be replaced at the intervals recommended by the manufacturer and not exceeding every 10 years”.

Depending on the quality of the CO2 hoses and their fittings they are generally very strong, however they can degrade, and when that happens, the consequences can be extremely serious. A leak in a hose can lead to fatal results.
We are very sensitive to anything that safety and human lives are depending on so we are using high quality and certified hoses SAE 100R7, MSHA STANDARD AND LLOYD’S REGISTER TYPE APPROVED

Thermoplastic CO2
hoses, certified by Lloyd’s Register for ten years replacement.
