As with any other suspected damage to a life safety rope, if there are any doubts about its condition, retire it from service. Often there is a mixture of chemicals whose identity and concentrations are unknown. Rope Rescue Presented by WPAFB FD Basket Lowers Single line lower with a belay One main line, one belay line for litter One litter tender Advantage: simpler. This discoloration causes no physical damage to the rope and may be washed off with warm water and a mild detergent.ĭetermining whether an exposure to a chemical, either in liquid or gas form, has caused significant damage to a rope is always difficult, particularly when there is no visible indication of the damage. The discoloration, which is a topical effect, can occur due to the reaction between the NOx compound and the spin finish, which may be present on the rope yarns. However, ropes may discolor (turn yellow) if they are exposed to nitrogen oxide (NOx) combustion by-products. Life safety rope stored in rope bags under ambient conditions are only exposed to low concentrations of CO on an intermittent basis, and as result they should not suffer any damage due to the CO exposure. Reactions involving CO require elevated temperature and pressure to proceed. This standard shall specify the minimum selection, care, and maintenance requirements for rope and associated equipment that are compliant with NFPA 1983. It is a combustion by-product that has a very low reactivity. NFPA 1858 Selection Care and Maintenance of Life Safety Rope and Equipment for Emergency Services. This is usually due to exhaust from the apparatus or other power equipment leaking into storage compartments through ventilation openings.Ĭarbon monoxide is an inert, hydrocarbon compound that exists in a gaseous state. This rope can be purchased in the standard spool length or per foot for custom lengths.Life safety rope stored on fire apparatus may be exposed to carbon monoxide (CO). Certified by the Underwriters Laboratories to NFPA 1983. All ropes of the same diameter will perform identically, making multi-rope systems much easier to control. We specifically address the issue of sheath slippage when constructing all of our top quality Rescue Ropes.
Our ropes actually handle better after 6 months of use than some new ropes from other manufactures. By building the ropes from ground up,we areable to providea super-strong rope with low stretch and excellent flexfibility and knotability. Now, we have used our knowledge to create a rope design than gives the best combination of all desired characteristics.
RescueTECH introduces its own ACCESS Lifeline for Rope Rescue. We spent 20 years helping other manufacturers create and update their ropes. The Newest Rescue Technology Life Safety Ropeĭesigned with the rescuer in mind, theRescueTECH ACCESSRescue Kernmantle gives the best combination of all rope characteristics.
