Heavy-Duty Containment for Large Attack Lines The R&B Fabrications Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack (50-inch model) is the large-format carrier for the legendary Milwaukee Strap system. Engineered to hold up to 150 feet of attack hose, this specialized bag is constructed from 22 oz. reinforced vinyl, designed to be dragged, hoisted, and deployed in the harshest high-rise environments. It keeps your hose clean, dry, and consolidated until you reach the fire floor.

Key Features

  • Massive 150ft Capacity: The 50-inch length comfortably accommodates up to 150 feet of 1½" or 1¾" double-jacketed hose, making it ideal for extended high-rise operations or garden apartment stretches.
  • Reinforced Vinyl Construction: Built from heavy 22 oz. vinyl with double-thickness reinforcements on the sides, bottom, and ends to withstand abrasion from concrete stairs and metal grating.
  • Rapid Deployment End: Features a specialized opening at one end that allows the hose to be pulled out smoothly for a fast, kink-free payout without opening the entire bag.
  • Versatile Carry System: Equipped with a 2-inch nylon webbing center handle for solo carry, plus dual end handles for a balanced two-person lift of heavy loads.
  • Shoulder Strap Ready: The end handles double as attachment points for the optional shoulder strap (Item #M/S-SS), enabling hands-free transport up ladders.
  • Integrated Drainage: Three brass grommets along the bottom ensure water drains freely, preventing mildew and keeping the pack weight manageable after drills.

Why It Matters Moving 150 feet of hose up 30 flights of stairs is a logistical nightmare if the hose is loose. This pack turns that chaotic load into a streamlined "torpedo" shape that slides over obstacles and protects the hose jacket from snags. It allows a single team to move a significant amount of fire power deep into a structure efficiently.

How to Use Flake your hose into the bag using an accordion fold for smooth deployment. Secure the top flaps with the three heavy-duty Velcro® straps. Use the center handle to lift the pack from the truck. Upon reaching the standpipe or drop point, open the deployment end, grab the nozzle/coupling, and advance—the hose pays out directly from the bag.

Technical Overview The "50-inch" designation refers to the physical length of the bag (50" L x 8" W x 9" H), which provides the volume necessary for 150 feet of hose. The 22 oz. vinyl is significantly thicker than standard gear bags, offering a semi-rigid structure.

High-Rise Operations: Carrying extended attack lines (150ft) up stairwells.

Garden Apartments: Navigating courtyards with protected hose packs.

Marine Firefighting: Vinyl construction protects hose from salt spray and oil.

Engine Companies: Managing bumper lines or cross-lays that need weather protection.

Industrial Fire Brigades: Storing hose in harsh factory environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the R&B Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack use 22 oz. reinforced vinyl instead of lighter materials?

The R&B Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack (MPN: M/S-HP) is constructed from heavy 22 oz. reinforced vinyl with double-thickness reinforcement on the sides, bottom, and ends specifically to withstand the demanding conditions firefighters face during structural firefighting and rapid deployment scenarios. This heavy-duty construction prevents tears and abrasions when dragging the pack across rough terrain, concrete, or debris fields, ensuring your 150 ft. of 1½" or 1¾" attack line remains protected and deployment-ready even after repeated use in harsh environments.

Can the R&B Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack be carried by one firefighter or does it require a team?

The M/S-HP hose pack offers versatile carrying options for both solo and team operations. It features a center handle made from 2" nylon webbing for balanced one-person carry, plus two end handles for coordinated two-person carry when navigating stairs or tight spaces. For extended single-person transport, you can attach the optional #M/S SS shoulder strap to the end handles, distributing the 36 oz. pack weight (plus hose) across your shoulder for hands-free mobility during apparatus positioning or staging operations.

How does the brass grommet drainage system prevent hose damage in the Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack?

The three brass grommet drain holes engineered into the R&B Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack allow water to escape immediately after deployment or training evolutions, preventing prolonged moisture retention that can lead to mildew, rot, and weakened hose integrity. This drainage system is critical for maintaining your attack lines in ready-to-deploy condition, especially when the pack is stored in apparatus compartments or station racks between calls where airflow may be limited.

What makes the R&B Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack's deployment system faster than traditional hose beds?

Unlike conventional hose beds that require complete unpacking, the M/S-HP features a single-end opening design that allows firefighters to pull the hose out directly for immediate deployment during initial attack operations. The three Velcro closure straps keep the 150 ft. capacity securely packed during transport but release quickly when needed, enabling a fast and efficient hose lay without fumbling with zippers or buckles in low-visibility or high-stress situations. This design is optimized for rapid interior attack and exposure protection scenarios.

Will the R&B Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack fit in standard fire apparatus compartments?

Yes, the M/S-HP is designed with apparatus storage in mind, measuring 50" L x 8" W x 9" H to fit standard compartment configurations on engines, trucks, and rescue apparatus. The compact profile maximizes your available compartment space while still providing 150 ft. hose capacity, and the reinforced vinyl construction prevents the pack from collapsing or deforming when stacked with other equipment. The dimensions also make it suitable for crosslay positions or rear hosebed storage depending on your department's operational preferences.
