The "Hydrant Man's" Essential Tool Kit The Evac Systems Fire Hydrant Pack (Model EP190/EP191) is the strategic solution for getting heavy brass and steel from the tailboard to the plug. Unlike simple canvas bags that sag and tear, this structured pack is built from 1,000 Denier Cordura® Nylon to handle the weight of gate valves, double males, and heavy wrenches. It organizes the chaos of the hydrant bag compartment into a deployable system that a firefighter can sling over their shoulder and run with.
Key Features
- Massive Tool Capacity: The main compartment is engineered to hold bulky brass items like gate valves, wyes, double male adapters, and nozzles, preventing them from banging together during transport.
- Dedicated Wrench Storage: Features specialized external pockets designed to secure a 16-inch adjustable hydrant wrench and standard spanner wrenches, keeping them instantly accessible without opening the main bag.
- Two Size Options:
- Small (18" Wide): Perfect for standard hydrant sets (wrench + gate valve).
- Large (21" Wide): Offers 3 extra inches of width to accommodate larger Storz adapters, extra-large wrenches, or additional wyes.
- Ergonomic Carry: Equipped with adjustable heavy-duty straps that allow the bag to be carried comfortably over a turnout coat, distributing the heavy load evenly for long walks to remote hydrants.
Why It Matters Speed at the hydrant dictates water in the pipe. Fumbling for a gasket or dropping a wrench in the grass costs seconds. This pack ensures that when the engine stops, the hydrant firefighter has a complete, self-contained kit ready to make the connection immediately.
How to Use
- Load: Place your gate valve and wye in the main compartment.
- Secure: Slide your hydrant wrench and spanners into the side pockets.
- Carry: Sling the adjustable strap over your shoulder.
- Deploy: Set the bag at the base of the hydrant; the structured shape keeps it upright for easy tool removal.
