Extended Capacity for Long Attack Lines The R&B Fabrications 100 to 150 Foot Hose Strap is the high-volume solution for managing extended attack lines and cross-lays. Unlike standard straps, this reinforced carrier is engineered to secure up to 150 feet of 1¾” double-jacketed hose, providing the extra capacity needed for deep stretches, courtyard apartments, or standpipe operations where a standard 100-foot bundle falls short.

Key Features

  • Expanded Capacity: Optimized to hold a substantial 100 to 150-foot bundle of 1¾” double-jacketed attack hose, accommodating larger hose loads for complex layouts.
  • Structural Spine: Features a stiff nylon spine that interconnects the straps, providing structural rigidity that prevents the heavy hose bundle from sagging or twisting during transport.
  • Triple-Point Security: Utilizes three heavy-duty Velcro® quick-release straps that compress the hose tightly, ensuring the pack stays intact until positioned at the drop point.
  • Ergonomic Carry: Equipped with a molded rubber grip handle on top for comfortable, slip-resistant transport even with wet gloves.
  • Rapid Deployment: The Velcro closure system allows for instantaneous release—simply pull the tabs to drop the hose and charge the line.
  • Enhanced Visibility: Integrated 3M™ reflective trim ensures the bundle (and the firefighter carrying it) can be seen in smoke or low-light conditions.

Why It Matters Standard hose straps often bottom out at 100 feet. When your department protocol calls for 150-foot cross-lays or extended hotel packs, you need a carrier that can handle the extra bulk without failure. This strap system bridges that gap, offering a secure, rigid platform for heavier loads that still deploys in seconds.

How to Use Fold your 100 or 150-foot hose section into a horseshoe or accordion load. Lay the strap system spine-down and wrap the three Velcro straps around the bundle. Cinch tight to compress. Grab the molded handle to lift the entire pack from the engine bed or carry it shoulder-slung to the fire floor.

Technical Overview The key differentiator of the HS-150 model is the "stiff nylon spine" which distributes the weight of the larger 150-foot load across all three straps, preventing the "banana" effect where the ends of the bundle droop.

  • Engine Companies: Managing 150-foot cross-lays ("Mattydales") for quick deployment.
  • High-Rise Operations: Carrying extended packs for large floor plates.
  • Garden Apartments: Reaching setbacks where a standard 100-foot line is insufficient.
  • Standpipe Ops: Organizing extra lengths of hose in the stairwell.
  • Wildland/Urban Interface: Moving large volumes of 1.5" or 1.75" hose to the fire line.
  • Capacity: 100 ft. to 150 ft. of 1¾” Double-Jacketed Hose
  • Structure: Stiff Nylon Spine
  • Straps: 3 x Heavy-Duty Velcro® Closures
  • Handle: Molded Rubber Grip
  • Visibility: 3M™ Reflective Trim
  • MPN: HS-150

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the R&B HS-150 hose strap use a stiff nylon spine instead of flexible webbing?

The stiff nylon spine in the R&B HS-150 provides critical structural support that keeps 100-150 feet of 1¾" double-jacketed fire hose organized and deployment-ready. Unlike flexible webbing that can collapse or tangle, the rigid spine maintains the hose's shape during transport and storage on fire apparatus. This design allows firefighters to grab a fold of hose and lay it out efficiently during quick attack operations or standpipe deployments, reducing precious seconds during emergency response.

Can the R&B 100 to 150 Foot Hose Strap fit on engine company apparatus with limited storage space?

Yes, the R&B HS-150 is designed for versatile compatibility with all fire apparatus configurations. The molded rubber grip handle on top enables easy carrying and repositioning, while the compact organization of 100-150 feet of 1¾" hose maximizes storage efficiency. The three Velcro quick-release closures allow the strap to be secured in tight compartments without sacrificing rapid deployment capability, making it ideal for both engine companies and truck companies running standpipe operations.

How does the 3M reflective trim on the R&B fire hose strap improve fireground safety?

The 3M reflective trim enhances visibility in low-light and smoke-filled conditions, allowing incident commanders and crew members to quickly locate hose straps during nighttime operations or interior attacks. This high-visibility feature is particularly critical during chaotic fireground operations where identifying equipment quickly can prevent delays in establishing water supply or deploying attack lines. The reflective material meets professional-grade standards for emergency response equipment.

What makes the R&B HS-150 better suited for 1¾" attack lines compared to other hose management systems?

The R&B HS-150 is purpose-built for 1¾" double-jacketed fire hose—the most commonly used attack hose in the fire service. Its three Velcro quick-release closures are specifically engineered for the diameter and weight of 100-150 feet of this hose size, providing secure retention without over-compression. Unlike generic hose packs or straps designed for multiple sizes, the HS-150's nylon spine and closure spacing optimize both storage density and deployment speed for standard quick attack configurations.

Is the R&B 100 to 150 Foot Fire Hose Strap (MPN: HS-150) compatible with pre-connected attack lines?

Absolutely. The R&B HS-150 is ideal for organizing pre-connected attack lines on pumpers and rescue apparatus. The quick-release Velcro system allows firefighters to deploy hose rapidly without fumbling with buckles or complicated fasteners, which is essential for pre-connects that need to be pulled and charged within seconds of arrival. The Made in the USA construction ensures durability through repeated deployments and reloads, maintaining readiness for the next alarm.
