WELCOME! To the Snap-tite Hose online hose inventory system - Hose Record Vault The Hose Record Vault system was developed with the hope that all fire departments would take this opportunity to fully implement fire hose preventative maintenance procedures, with full documentation as required by NFPA 1962. As a fireperson, you know what it takes to battle fires and our desire is that you have the confidence and knowledge that your fire hose is up to the job. NFPA 1962 – The Standard for the Inspection, Care, Use and Service Testing of Fire Hose - Chapter 5 states each length of hose shall have a unique identification number for use in recording its history throughout its service life, and that an accurate hose record shall be maintained by the department. By following a routine testing and maintenance program in conjunction with the Hose Record Vault, you will have confidence in knowing your fire equipment is at top level performance. With the capability to login and keep accurate records of hoses in your department, by station, and by engine, you can take the guess work out of hose inventory. You can finally have a “cradle to grave” recorded history, and the current status of each piece of hose in your department. • Look up the location and status of a specific piece of hose • Hose records stored in one place, with database backup • Easy web interface from any computer • Hose Service Testing email reminders • Barcode Capability Interface for Unique Hose Identifier • Hose Inventory Management to assist in meeting ISO Asset Tracking Yes, we manufacture the best hose Made in the U.S.A. and with that comes, quality and commitment. The Hose Record Vault system is not designated strictly for our hose but all brands of hose. We realize many departments will have hose from multiple hose manufacturers - but our goal is to assist you in doing your job the best and safest way possible. Give yourself and your fellow personnel the peace of mind in knowing their hoses are up to standards and ready to go! GET YOUR HOSE IN CONTROL!
