Standard Capacity Protection for Attack Lines The R&B Fabrications Milwaukee Strap Hose Pack (36-inch model) is the standard-sized carrier for the Milwaukee Strap high-rise system. Designed to secure up to 100 feet of attack hose, this rugged vinyl case protects your line from debris, abrasion, and kinks while allowing for rapid deployment in confined spaces. It is the ideal solution for engine companies and high-rise teams that need a reliable, compact way to move hose.
Key Features
- 100ft Capacity: Specifically sized (36" length) to hold up to 100 feet of 1½" or 1¾" double-jacketed hose, perfect for standard cross-lays or hotel packs.
- Heavy-Duty Vinyl: Constructed from 22 oz. reinforced vinyl with double-layered sides, bottom, and ends to survive dragging across concrete and metal stairs.
- Quick-Deploy End: Features a specialized opening at one end that allows the hose to be pulled out ("flaked") directly from the bag without undoing the main straps, speeding up deployment.
- Versatile Carry Handles: Includes a central 2-inch nylon webbing handle for solo carry and dual end handles for a two-person lift or vertical hoist.
- Shoulder Strap Compatible: End loops are designed to accept the optional shoulder strap (Item #M/S-SS) for hands-free transport up ladders.
- Drainage System: Three brass grommets along the bottom allow water to drain, preventing the pack from becoming waterlogged and heavy.
Why It Matters In a stairwell or narrow hallway, a loose hose bundle is a disaster waiting to happen. This pack keeps your 100-foot line contained in a tight, manageable "brick" that slides over obstacles and protects the hose jacket. It ensures that when you reach the fire floor, your line is clean, organized, and ready to charge.
How to Use Load your 100-foot hose section using an accordion fold. Secure the top flaps with the two heavy-duty Velcro® straps. Carry to the objective using the center handle or optional shoulder strap. At the drop point, open the deployment end, grab the nozzle, and advance—the hose feeds smoothly out of the bag.
Technical Overview The "36-inch" designation refers to the bag's length (36" L x 8" W x 9" H), optimized for 100 feet of hose. This is shorter than the 50-inch model (150ft capacity), making it more maneuverable in tight spaces.
