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.
