What size fire hose does Bingham's sell?

I think 4"

I was thinking more like 1.5"

just got some today it's 1 1/2 inch, the round end plug that fits on the inside of hose is 1 1/2"wide. Fully flatend out the hose is 2 1/2" wide

why are we talking about fire hose?

Our bows are so "smoking" we have to keep a fire hose handy  :cool:  

Actually I believe a hose is used in some bow making process.

I need to get about 7 feet of fire hose. The original piece I had for building longbows was cut so I could use it on a 50" recurve form.

ok so i just jumped in over my head...swimming to the bank now

I'm with you nightowl1,  HUH?  :confused:

The firehose is used for compression when you glue up laminated bows.  They are filled with air between two forms.

Thanks for the comeback and the education.

Ha I just learned something!!  Joe

Guys, if you need fire hose I can probably get it for free. I'm an officer on the local Vol. dept. We have rolls of damaged hose taking up space around the station. Mostly "inch and a half" but also some 2 1/2". Let me know.

Ok guys, I dug mine out of the shed and it is 1.5".  It seemed a lot bigger but I guess that's the way of guys and hoses!

I have the opportunity to purchase 90 feet of
1 1/2" new fire hose that was ordered from a local fire supply co, but never picked up. I do not need the entire 90 feet. If anyone is interested in some or what I do not need, please let me know. The price will be $2.25 per foot, Binghams sells it $3.36 per foot.

The deal fell through. I will not be getting the hose. Sorry.

Guys how bout check with your local firehouse?? I am D/C of a firehouse and will gladly give old or out of service hose? Some houses might not but I think most will - get a 50' section.

Yeah I can't imagine some Vol FD not having some old hose around that they will give you. Thats how I got mine.
