Efficient Transport for Double Donut Hose Rolls Maximize your mobility and compartment space with the R&B Fabrications Double Donut Strap. Specifically engineered to manage the "Double Donut" hose roll technique, this heavy-duty strap system secures two 50-foot sections of 1¾” hose side-by-side, creating a compact, balanced load that is easy to carry and deploys without kinking.

Key Features

  • 100ft Total Capacity: Designed to hold two separate 50-foot lengths of 1¾” hose (coupled or uncoupled) in a side-by-side "double donut" configuration.
  • Shoulder Carry Design: Integrated heavy-duty shoulder strap allows firefighters to carry the 100-foot bundle hands-free, essential for climbing ladders or navigating stairwells.
  • Adjustable Security: Features high-shear strength Velcro® closures that adjust from 42” to 50”, ensuring a tight cinch regardless of the hose jacket thickness.
  • Rapid Deployment: The open strap design allows for quick release, letting you drop the rolls to extend an existing line or reduce a larger 2.5" line instantly.
  • Compact Storage: By stacking the hose rolls, this system fits easily into standard engine compartments or hose troughs where long flat lays won't fit.
  • Rugged Construction: Built from industrial-grade nylon webbing and a heavy-duty 3-inch center ring to withstand the rigors of the fireground.

Why It Matters The "Double Donut" roll is a favorite for high-rise packs and wildland progressive lays because it protects the couplings and deploys fast. However, carrying two loose rolls is awkward. This strap unifies them into a single, manageable unit. It is the perfect solution for creating a "grab-and-go" high-rise pack that can be deployed by a single firefighter.

How to Use Roll two 50-foot sections of 1¾” hose into standard donut rolls (or a single 100-foot section rolled from the middle). Place them side-by-side. Wrap the two nylon straps around the twin rolls and secure tightly with the high-shear Velcro®. Sling the unit over your shoulder using the integrated strap. To deploy, undo the Velcro tabs and roll out the hose.

Technical Overview The system revolves around a central 3-inch metal ring that connects the shoulder strap to the retaining loops, providing a pivot point that keeps the load balanced during movement.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the R&B Double Donut Strap better than carrying loose hose sections on the fireground?

The R&B Double Donut Strap (MPN: DD-100) secures two 50-foot sections of 1¾" hose in a pre-coiled, compact stack that fits easily into apparatus compartments. Unlike loose hose, it includes a shoulder strap for ergonomic carrying and allows firefighters to quickly add-on to an existing hose lay or reduce a larger line without fumbling with tangled sections. The heavy-duty nylon webbing with high-sheer strength Velcro® ensures the hose stays secure during transport and rapid deployment.

Can I deploy the R&B Double Donut Strap mid-operation to extend my attack line?

Absolutely. The R&B Double Donut Strap is designed for versatile deployment—you can easily add it to an existing hose lay during fireground operations or use it to reduce a larger hose line as tactical needs change. The shoulder strap allows one firefighter to carry and deploy 100 feet of 1¾" hose efficiently, making it ideal for rapid interior attacks or extending supply lines without returning to the apparatus.

How does the R&B Double Donut compare to traditional hose packs for structural firefighting?

Unlike bulkier hose packs, the R&B Double Donut Strap (SKU: DD-100) is specifically engineered for compact storage and single-firefighter deployment. Its high-sheer strength Velcro® closure system allows for faster release than traditional straps or bundles, and the shoulder carry design reduces fatigue during extended operations. At $126.29, it's a cost-effective solution for departments needing quick-deploy attack lines without sacrificing apparatus space.

Will the Double Donut Strap fit in a standard SCBA compartment or crosslay?

Yes. The R&B Double Donut Strap's pre-coiled design makes the hose stack small enough to fit into most apparatus compartments, including SCBA storage areas and crosslays. This compact footprint is a key advantage for departments with limited compartment space or those running smaller apparatus that need to maximize hose capacity without external mounting.

Is the R&B Double Donut Strap made in the USA, and what makes the Velcro® closure reliable under stress?

Yes, the R&B Double Donut Strap is made in the USA by R&B Fabrications. It features high-sheer strength Velcro® specifically chosen for its ability to maintain a secure hold under the physical stress of fireground operations—including dragging, shoulder carries, and rapid deployment. The heavy-duty nylon webbing construction ensures long-term durability even in high-heat, high-pressure environments.
