Hangout: Live at Key Hose Headquarters

Join our hosts Bill Gustin and Bobby Halton live as they tour Key Hose headquarters in Dothan, Alabama.  It is one of the largest and most advanced hose production facilities in the world. Bill and Bobby will meet with the men and women who produce some of the finest water supply / delivery hose in the world. Join them as they get a first-hand look at the production of hose from raw material to finished product. Then they will sit down with some of the wonderful folks from Key Hose and discuss NFPA standards, annual flow testing, friction loss, heat resistance, and the latest research and development going on at Key Hose. You can participate in the discussion as always with the hashtag #FEtalk.
