The Standard for Hose-Mounted Tool Storage The R&B Fabrications Hydrant Tool Bag (Model 440) ensures your essential water supply tools are always right where you need them: at the hydrant. Designed to strap securely to the end of your supply line, this bag eliminates the need for a separate toolbox, allowing the hydrant firefighter to grab the coupling and tools in a single motion.

Key Features

  • Universal Hose Fit: Equipped with adjustable 2-inch webbing straps and heavy-duty Velcro® that mount securely to any hose from 2.5” up to 5” LDH, ensuring compatibility with both attack and supply engines.
  • "Ride-Along" Security: The tight strap design keeps the bag firmly attached to the hose even when dragging or charging the line, preventing tool loss during deployment.
  • Impervious Construction: Built from 14 oz. vinyl, offering high visibility and complete resistance to water, mud, and road grime for easy decontamination.
  • Rapid Access: Features a simple Velcro® flap closure that retains heavy wrenches during transport but opens instantly with gloved hands.

Why It Matters In the rush to establish a water supply, forgetting a hydrant wrench can be disastrous. This bag marries the tools to the hose. Whether you are laying a 5-inch supply line or a 2.5-inch attack line, the tools travel with the coupling, guaranteeing operational readiness at the plug.

How to Use

  1. Mount: Wrap the two web straps around the hose (near the male coupling) and cinch the Velcro tight.
  2. Load: Insert your hydrant wrench, gate valve, and adapters.
  3. Secure: Close the top flap.
  4. Deploy: Pull the hose from the bed; the bag stays attached to the coupling.

Technical Overview Weighing just 10 oz, the bag measures 22” Long with a 16” Circumference. Its slim profile hugs the hose to minimize snagging on the tailboard or hose bed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I leave the R&B Fire Hydrant Tool Bag attached when charging the hose line?▸

Yes, the R&B Fire Hydrant Tool Bag is specifically designed to remain attached to the hydrant end of the hose during line charging. Unlike traditional tool bags that must be removed before water flow, this bag's secure 2" webbing and Velcro strap system allows it to stay in place while you charge 2 ½" through LDH hoses. This design saves critical seconds during emergency response and ensures your hydrant tools are always accessible exactly where you need them.

What's the difference between the Standard (440YL) and Oversized (441YL) hydrant tool bags?▸

The Standard 440YL measures 22" L x 16" circumference and weighs 10 oz, ideal for essential hydrant tools like wrenches and gate valves. The Oversized 441YL offers 26" L x 20" circumference with a 14 oz weight, providing approximately 40% more storage capacity for departments that carry additional equipment like chocks, adapters, or extra spanner wrenches. Both models fit 5" hose and feature the same durable 14 oz. vinyl construction made in the USA.

Will the R&B hydrant bag fit on large-diameter hose (LDH) used by my department?▸

Absolutely. Both the Standard and Oversized R&B Fire Hydrant Tool Bags are engineered to accommodate 2 ½" through LDH (Large Diameter Hose) configurations, including 5" hose. The adjustable 2" webbing straps with Velcro closures provide a secure, customizable fit across different hose diameters, making this bag compatible with most municipal and industrial fire department supply lines.

How does the 14 oz. vinyl construction hold up to exposure and rough handling?▸

The R&B Fire Hydrant Tool Bag uses heavy-duty 14 oz. vinyl specifically chosen for fire service durability. This material resists tearing from sharp hydrant threads, withstands UV exposure during extended outdoor storage, and repels water to keep tools dry. R&B Fabrications manufactures these bags in the USA with reinforced stitching at stress points, ensuring the bag maintains its integrity through repeated deployments, hose drags, and exposure to oils, dirt, and weather conditions common in firefighting operations.

Why choose the R&B hydrant bag over a standard tool pouch or compartment bag?▸

The R&B Fire Hydrant Tool Bag's unique hydrant-end attachment system is purpose-built for fire attack efficiency. Traditional tool pouches require firefighters to carry tools separately or store them in apparatus compartments, adding steps during deployment. By attaching directly to the hose at the hydrant connection point, the R&B bag ensures hydrant tools travel with the supply line, eliminating the need to return to the engine for wrenches or adapters. The high-visibility yellow color (both SKU 440YL and 441YL) also improves tool accountability during low-light operations.
