Tiaga 6″ & 12″  hoses are constructed with a circular woven double-jacket of 100% virgin polyester yarn.  The outside jacket is treated with ENCAP™ elastomer, which completely encapsulates the jacket fibers and not merely surface coat the jacket, to provide superior durability, resistance to abrasion and chemicals, and reduction in water absorption up to 40%.  The inner lining uses extruded thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for enhanced flexibility and compactness, and resistance to ozone and aging.

The Taiga 1200 is rated as a Super Large Diameter Hose (SLDH) and the Taiga 600 as a Large Diameter Hose (LDH) with a best-in-class 200 psi (13.8 bars) service test pressure.  Providing maximum safety unmatched by competition, these hoses were designed to withstand a minimum of 600 psi (41.3 bars) pressure before bursting.  These hoses meet or exceed NFPA 1961 specifications.
