I have not pressurized, but this hose appears to be very good quality. Time will tell.
Like so many in California, we live on the wildland interface, which is constantly under threat of fire. We’re lucky to have fire hydrants in our neighborhood and we’ve considered getting some hose, nozzles and tools for that “just in case” situation where things are so bad the fire department is delayed arriving (it’s happened before within a couple of miles from here). The goal is to just keep any fire at bay long enough for the fire department to get here and save the house and outbuildings that otherwise may have caught fire.
I’m no firefighter, but I can read, operate a fire hydrant, and hook up hose and nozzle to get water on areas where embers might start a blaze. If I never have to use this equipment, I’ll consider myself lucky. But, if I need it, I have it. It could easily be the difference between a standing house or one of many burned out lots in the subdivision.
The quality of Ace’s products are more than sufficient for this use case, without paying 1.5x to 3x the price for gear sold to fire fighters for more frequent use. We tested the equipment on our local hydrant that the water company reports is at 130 psi with no issue.
Customer service is great, with Sherwin reaching out to see if we need any assistance and are happy with the purchase.

We are very pleased with Ace's products, It is every bit as good as advertised. We are even more impressed that Ace would come out personally and show us exactly how to use the product by setting up a live demonstration. I will sleep a lot better knowing that I have a good fire defense system in place, should ever the need to use it occur.
We recently purchased fire fighting equipment for our entire neighborhood. Looking forward to the added longevity at these thick walled hoses, and not very much more than the thinner walls. Our experience with Ace has been extremely smooth. The owner was very, very helpful to us.
Our neighborhood pulled funds together to buy for fighting equipment. Ace has quality i trust and good prices. Customer service was excellent. Highly recommended! The owner really cares because he lives in a high fire zone threat area too.
What a pleasant experience getting the equipment I needed replaced after the Palisades fire. Ace has the best quality gear, knowledge and experience to set you up!
I bought two of these nozzles and they worked perfectly. Great quality! Do not hesitate to buy. Thank you so much!
Very good quality device, valves tight and smooth. Delivery was quick as well. Hopefully we never need to use it, but I'm confident it will do the job if we do need to!
I’m a retired firefighter with 34 years of experience. My home is susceptible to wild land fires. Fortunately, I have a fire hydrant 200 feet from my house. I bought several sections of hose and nozzles to protect the house in the event of a fire. The quality of the products is on the light duty side, but is perfectly acceptable for occasionally use. The Los Angeles fires were a wake up call. I looked at my own home with a more critical eye and realized how much combustible material I had on or near my house. Now that the exterior of my house has been tidied up along with the addition of fire hose and nozzles, as well as goggles and gloves, and a nomex hood. I feel much more prepared if something should blow through. Be careful and pick your battles. I could have scrounged older hoes from my former fire department, but I did not feel it was worth the risk, older hoes can fail without notice. My neighborhood is situated in such a way if everything goes to shit and I have to run for my life I have many safe areas of refuge.
The Ace fire hydrant gated wye valve fit perfectly. Easy to operate. Delivery quickly !
Great product. Bought 2 to fight fires around our house. We live remotely so we need these.
This is a great product that we hope to never have to use..piece of mind is everything. Sherwin (owner) was super helpful and shipping was very fast.
This product looks to be of great quality and we hope we never need to use it. Shipping was super fast and the owner went above and beyond to explain everything to me.
I can’t stress enough how important it is in our area to have an edge if there is a fire…this will help us possibly save our home our someone else’s in our community. This is our first line of defense until our fire department arrives!
Looks very good
Nice product, fair price and quick service!
Easy transaction perfect for our needs
Very nice hose and did it's job well.
Would work for my purpose but the thread is a bit bigger then the hose threads. Had to add tons of thread tape.
