Wholesale PricingThe Range Guard High Pressure Hose (P/N 120045, full part number 87-120045-001) is a 7.5-inch high-pressure discharge hose used in Range Guard kitchen fire suppression systems. This is the shortest length in the Range Guard high-pressure hose family. A 24-inch version (87-120045-002) and a 60-inch version (87-120045-003) are also available, making it important to confirm the correct length for the specific connection point in your system layout before ordering. This 7.5-inch version is the right choice for close-clearance connections between system components such as agent cylinders and distribution piping where a longer hose would create unnecessary slack or routing difficulty.
High-pressure hoses in a Range Guard system carry the nitrogen expellant gas and wet chemical agent under pressure between components during a discharge event. This means the hose must be rated for and certified to handle the system's operating pressures, and it must maintain its integrity over years of standby service in a commercial kitchen environment. Replacement hoses must be the OEM part specified for the system configuration, since hose length and fittings are designed around specific connection points in the system layout.

Range Guard systems are pre-engineered kitchen fire suppression systems that must be installed and serviced by a certified distributor for that system. Hose replacement is part of that service scope.
- Correct Length Selection: Confirm the required hose length for the specific connection point in your system layout before ordering. Using the wrong length can make a connection impossible or create problematic routing. Range Guard offers this hose in 7.5-inch, 24-inch, and 60-inch lengths for different connection scenarios.
- Semiannual Professional Service: A qualified technician inspects all hoses for cracks, corrosion, loose fittings, or signs of degradation at each required service interval.
- Post-Discharge Inspection: After any system actuation, all hoses must be inspected and the system fully certified before being returned to service.
What is the difference between the 7.5-inch, 24-inch, and 60-inch hose versions?
All three are the same Range Guard high-pressure hose (base part number 120045) in different lengths. The 7.5-inch version (87-120045-001) is for close-clearance connections where a short hose is specified. The 24-inch (87-120045-002) and 60-inch (87-120045-003) versions serve longer runs or connections requiring more flexibility. Your system's design documentation specifies which length belongs at each connection point.
Can I substitute a longer hose and coil the excess?
No. Hose routing and length are part of the certified system design. Coiling excess hose can restrict flow under pressure and introduces a point of mechanical stress. Always use the length specified for the connection point.
Who do I contact for installation?
Contact a certified Range Guard (Kidde / Kidde Fenwal) kitchen suppression system distributor. They can confirm the correct hose for your specific system layout and perform the required installation and testing.
