Quick Overview

The R&B LDH Strap provides a fail-safe anchor point for 4-inch or 5-inch supply hose on a fire hydrant. This allows a single firefighter to rapidly secure the line, enabling the engine to proceed to the fire scene while laying its supply line without slippage.

Field Application Steps

  1. Pre-connect the strap around the first hose fold in the hose bed, cinching it tightly behind the coupling.
  2. At the hydrant, pull the strap and hose assembly from the apparatus and loop it securely around the main hydrant barrel.
  3. Place a foot on the hose line on the ground to prevent it from being pulled under the apparatus tires.
  4. Signal the driver to proceed with the lay, allowing the hose to pay out from the anchored strap.
  5. After the lay is complete, use the oversized pull tab to release the hose coupling and make the hydrant connection.
