Fire Extinguisher Hose Belt – 3/8" Diameter
This hose belt (also known as a hose strap or retainer) is a critical accessory designed to keep the discharge hose of a portable fire extinguisher securely tucked against the cylinder. It prevents the hose from dangling, which could lead to damage or create a tripping hazard during storage or transport.
Dimensions: Diameter 7” (17.8 cm), thickness 2 mm (5/64”)
Material: Black plastic.
Why use a hose strap?
A hose strap safely secures the extinguisher hose to the extinguisher body. This helps protect the hose against accidental bumps and snags, and increases its service life.
How to install the hose strap?
Place the hose strap around the fire extinguisher. Adjust the strap by tightening it until it is snug against the extinguisher. Cut the excess length of the strap, then clip the hose into the strap hook.
It’s essential that the hose trap be very tightly secured to the extinguisher, so that it won’t move or slip. Otherwise, the hose might become stuck in the strap when you need to use the extinguisher. We recommend performing a test before cutting the excess strap length. The strap hook fits 3/8” (9.5. mm) diameter hoses.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How do I know if this belt fits my extinguisher?
Measure the outside diameter of your extinguisher's hose. If it is approximately 3/8 of an inch, this belt is the correct size. It is the most common size for standard 5 lb and 10 lb dry chemical units.
Will the elastic lose its stretch over time?
While all elastic materials eventually wear, these belts are manufactured using industrial-grade materials designed to withstand years of being stretched around an extinguisher cylinder.
Does the belt interfere with the use of the extinguisher?
No. In an emergency, you simply pull the hose out from the belt. The belt stays on the cylinder while the hose is free to be aimed at the base of the fire.
Can this be used for outdoor extinguishers?
Yes, the material is resistant to common environmental factors, though it is always recommended to check the condition of all extinguisher accessories during your monthly visual inspections.
OHS Expert Advice
"A dangling hose is more than just untidy; it's a safety deficiency. It can get caught on clothing or equipment, potentially knocking the extinguisher off its bracket. During your monthly OHS rounds, if you notice a hose is no longer held tight against the tank, replacing the hose belt is a low-cost way to ensure your equipment remains in top operational condition."
