Shipping via US Post Office First Class Envelope with tracking. Shipped the business day following your order if not the same day. Note: Quantity Available indicates the number of sets of hinges remaining. If it shows 1 Available, that means I have one pair or one set of three remaining. PRODUCT DETAILS If you would like to check your hinge dimensions, they are approximately – 2 1/4" wide, 2" high, hole centers 1 1/2" W x 1 7/16" H. Two kits to choose from. One has 3 Hinges, 2 Lid Straps & 16 Stainless Steel Screws. The other kit has 2 Hinges, 1 Lid Strap, and 10 Stainless Steel Screws. Our Coleman hinges are only sold with Lid Straps. The fire hose weighs about 3/4 lb per foot and is made from yellow rubber material with a polyester and nylon weave between layers. I can't imagine they will ever wear out or break.

Thanks Great innovator and seller, superior product, fine communication Fire Hose Hinges R3 – YouTube Video will open in a new window [isdntekvideo] BACKGROUND I'm an avid fisherman and was repeatedly replacing broken cooler hinges. I researched alternate products and homemade options. After some internet searching I came upon the idea of trying used fire hose. I asked my firefighter/paramedic nephew if he could get some retired fire hose and he acquired a section of 5 inch diameter hose. This is the supply hose typically used to make connections from the fire hydrant to the fire truck. I made replacements for broken hinges on one of my coolers and liked them so much I replaced the un-broken ones on my other cooler (see pics). They work great and look cool. In fact, they work so good I made additional hinges with the remaining hose to see if others would like to purchase them on eBay. Those hinges sold out and I acquired more retired and factory scrap fire hose. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm a retired engineer, so the following may seem a bit overkill to some folks, but read on if you would like more details….. In interest of proving the durability of the fire hose hinges, I built two test rigs (see the pictures). One rig tests the in-line breaking strength by applying a linear force until the hinge stretches or breaks. Brand new Igloo plastic hinges would start stretching and eventually break at 80 – 90lb of force. The fire hose hinges stretch slightly at 150+ lb, but did not break after holding that load for hours. The other test rig uses a motor with linkages that repetitively bend the hinge approximately 50 times per minute to measure the number of bending cycles before failure. It bends the hinge from straight to just over 90 degrees to simulate opening and closing the cooler lid. A new plastic Igloo hinge failed after 26 hours on the bending rig. A fire hose hinge has been on the rig for 200 hours (over 600,000 bending cycles) and has no sign of wear. NFPA Fire Hose Specifications NFPA 1961 Fire Hose Standard – Cold Resistance – Hose shall be exposed to temperature of -35 degrees F for 24 hours, then bent 180 degrees both directions. Hose shall then not leak when brought to pressure. Heat Resistance – Verified using the test procedures defined in UL 19. Hose shall withstand 1200 degree F for at least two minutes without bursting when subject to a static pressure of 100 psi. Disclaimer: I am not associated with Coleman in any way.
