Introducing LPX™ Technology – evolving the small diameter line for low pressure attack. Mercedes Textiles' patent-pending technology reinforces only the nozzle-end of the hose to minimize whip & kinking for increased control without sacrificing the lightweight packability & maneuverability of the rest of the line. This is precision innovation – minimum change for maximum effect where it matters most.
KrakenEXO® LPX 1-½” and ExoMetro® LPX 1-¾” offer superior nozzle handling on small diameter, low-pressure attacks – delivering 150-160 GPM at 50-75 PSI with up to 30% less weight than standard 1-¾” hose.
LPX lines are equipped with Mercedes’ patented Breather Technology strips that release trapped air & water for superior packability. Standard with our exclusive black WAYOUT® couplings with red recessed, reflective arrows and iDENTIFY® coding system.
KrakenEXO LPX 1.5"
KrakenEXO LPX was engineered to advance the 1-1/2” handline to meet the needs of the modern fire service. Delivering 150 - 160 GPM flows at 50 - 75 PSI for up to 30% lighter*, more agile attack packages that increase control and reduce firefighter fatigue – particularly in low manpower situations.
LPX lines are equipped with Mercedes’ patented Breather Technology strips that release trapped air & water for superior packability. Standard with our exclusive black WAYOUT® couplings with red recessed, reflective arrows and iDENTIFY® coding system.
