New HNBR Oil Hose

As a global market leader, Firebird is committed to developing innovative solutions to future proof home heating. 
We listened to our Service Engineers – carried out research & implemented the change.

All Firebird boilers manufactured from the 1st of December, will come with the new oil hose as standard & all spare oil hoses ordered after this  date will be HNBR.

  • Biodiesel above mentioned is intended as FAME according to EN 14214.
  • Tests carried out with pure Biodiesel at 70°C and 100°C.
    It is very difficult to predict the lifetime of an oil hose, as it is strongly depending on the operating conditions (temperature, dynamic loads/stresses, etc.).
