I have an M45 530C fire truck. I had sought help locating the Suction Hoses for drawing pond river or static water to fill or fire.
One member Emailed and PM'd me as to the possibilty of sending me Two 4 1/2 inch NFH thread hoses and connections from a pile of miscellaneous hoses and connections that lay unused in a vehicle disposal scrap yard. Many emails and promises later nothing heard, but the guy was having problems of his own. (which obviously surmounted mine). Never the less We were quite disappointed. The Yard we believe is in "Lancaster" P.A. Can Anyone furnish us with the (That ) Company Name address or contact phone number? (In that) We might then be able to contact the company direct and directly to purchase and have the Hoses and connections shipped over to the U.K. For our 530C unit. The hosed and connections are not available over here. and we have ALL the original kit and hoses except the large 4 1/2 inch side suction HARD ones. (Two lengths required only).
Any help, ANY source, Anywhere, more than greatly appreciated.

Correct required data hoses

Here is a side shot of the large 4 1/2 inch suction connector the hard suction hoses are required for, and or a "pond float" Filter.

The coeect data is posted here too.

You might do better to find some 5" hard suction hoses, and just order a 4 1/2" to 5" adapter. I believe you might have more luck finding old civilian 5" suction hose than 4 1/2", which I've never really seen.
