— Flexible Installation
Hose + Fixings
To complete a standard water mist fire suppression system installation, both the stainless steel and thermoplastic hoses will be used to navigate each unique property and achieve the system’s design standard.
— 175 BAR MAX
Why choose Thermoplastic?
NPHS-UK have also sourced an alternate hose for connecting our pump to our patented nozzles, where a fire rated barrier is not required.
Meet the R7 thermoplastic hydraulic hose, with a max working pressure of 175 bar, more than double the requirement of the operating pressure of our custom-made pump.
While preparing and acquiring all components to complete a water mist system for domestic and residential installation, we have taken decisive steps to ensure all hoses, premium fixtures and fittings (which will be hidden once the installation is complete) are of the highest manufacturing quality and more than adequate for the job at hand.
— Perfect for our needs
Designed for Mist
Thermoplastic hydraulic hoses typically have an inner tube, one or more layers of reinforcement, and a protective cover.
Critical Aspect
A critical aspect of thermoplastic hose construction is how the tube, reinforcement and cover are bonded together.
Thermal and chemical bonding methods ensure strong adhesion because thermoplastic materials can be re-melted during the production process.
As a result, both the tube OD and cover ID materials can migrate between reinforcing fibers, creating a sturdy attachment between the three layers.
Typical Performance
Our thermoplastic hose typically has a smooth internal surface that permits highly efficient flow and reduces flow losses.
It also tends to offer low expansion even at maximum working pressure and with a protective inner and outer layer our hoses resist erosion, which helps maintain overall system cleanliness.
Common Practice
FYI: Thermoplastic hoses are common in both mobile and industrial equipment, and they are widely used in medium-to-high pressure hydraulic applications.
Related products are often specified for handling compressed air and other gases, transporting chemicals, and in water-cleaning …perfect for our requirements.
— Flexible and versatile
Heat Resistant
Smooth bore flexible stainless steel hoses are widely accepted in the fire industry having been used on 3rd party approved flexible drops in commercial sprinklers for many years.
Advantage of Steel
The fully stainless steel construction makes the hose completely heat and fire resistant. It does not rely on a fire resisting barrier to maintain its performance.
This provides a significant advantage over the CPVC pipework, traditionally used by the residential sprinkler industry.
Fire Rated
Flexible stainless steel or ridged stainless steel can be used where a hose in not protected by a fire rated barrier.

Portable Swaging
The NPHS-UK portable swaging machines allows us to install our water mist system in even the trickiest of areas; by cutting the precise length of hose required to navigate around the tricky areas of a property, successfully connect our high pressure pump to our water mist nozzles.
Our on-site mobile installation allows:
- Less wastage of materials.
- More accurate pricing quote.
- Only pay for materials used.
The stainless-steel fixtures and fittings when swaged on to our high pressure hose have a max W.P. of up to 300 bar.
