Versatile Organization for Emergency Gear The Red Multi-Use Single Gripper Strap (Model SGS-3) is a compact yet essential tool for fire and rescue organization. Designed to tame loose gear, it effectively bundles folded fire hose layers, extension cords, or rescue ropes, keeping compartments tidy and equipment ready for deployment.

Key Features

  • Secure Bundling: Utilizes a heavy-duty nylon strap with a sturdy metal loop to create leverage, allowing you to cinch down tightly on bundles.
  • High Visibility: Equipped with 1.5” wide silver 3M™ reflective tape, ensuring the strap and your equipment are visible in low-light or smoky conditions.
  • Adjustable Fit: The hook-and-loop (Velcro-style) closure system adjusts to fit bundles with a circumference ranging from 12 to 26 inches.
  • Universal Application: While designed for hose, its adjustable nature makes it perfect for securing medical bags, power cables, or hydraulic tool hoses.

Why It Matters Loose gear creates hazards and slows down response times. This strap provides a "third hand" for responders, keeping hose folds intact during transport or preventing cords from tangling in the truck. Unlike single-use cable ties, the Gripper Strap is reusable, durable, and glove-friendly.

How to Use

  1. Wrap: Place the strap around the bundled hose, cord, or equipment.
  2. Thread: Feed the nylon webbing through the metal square loop.
  3. Cinch: Pull tight to compress the bundle.
  4. Secure: Press the hook-and-loop fastener down to lock the strap in place.

Technical Overview Weighing only 3 oz, this strap adds zero bulk to your loadout. The combination of industrial-grade nylon and a welded metal loop ensures it can withstand the pulling force needed to compress bulky gear.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the R&B Single Gripper Strap include 3M reflective tape?▸

The 1½" silver 3M reflective tape on this fire hose strap enhances visibility during nighttime operations or low-light emergency scenarios. When you're managing fire hoses, cords, or equipment in smoke-filled environments or during overnight incidents, the reflective striping ensures the strap remains visible to your crew, reducing trip hazards and improving operational safety. This is particularly valuable for wildland firefighters working dawn or dusk shifts, or structural teams operating in buildings with compromised lighting.

Can the R&B Gripper Strap secure 5-inch LDH (large diameter hose)?▸

Yes, with a maximum circumference of 26 inches, this strap can bundle standard 5-inch LDH supply hose as well as smaller diameter attack lines. The heavy-duty nylon construction and metal loop provide the strength needed to keep bundled hose sections secure during transport on apparatus or storage. The hook-and-loop closure allows you to adjust tension based on whether you're bundling a single 5-inch line or multiple 1¾-inch attack hoses together.

How does the R&B Single Gripper Strap compare to traditional rubber hose straps?▸

Unlike rigid rubber straps that can crack in extreme temperatures or lose elasticity over time, the R&B Single Gripper Strap uses heavy-duty nylon with a hook-and-loop fastener system that maintains consistent grip strength regardless of weather conditions. At only 3 oz, it's significantly lighter than rubber alternatives, won't leave marks on hose jackets, and the adjustable design (up to 26" circumference) accommodates various equipment diameters that fixed-size rubber straps cannot.

Is the R&B Red Multi-Use Single Gripper Strap compatible with apparatus mounting systems?▸

The strong metal loop on this strap allows for secure attachment to D-rings, carabiners, or apparatus mounting points commonly found on fire engines and rescue vehicles. You can use the metal loop to hang bundled hoses vertically in hose beds, attach to exterior apparatus compartments, or clip to SCBA brackets for cord management. The red color provides quick visual identification against standard apparatus colors.

What makes this strap Made in the USA important for fire department procurement?▸

R&B Fabrications manufactures this gripper strap domestically (MPN: SGS-2), which satisfies Buy American Act requirements for many municipal and federal fire department purchasing contracts. The USA manufacturing also ensures consistent quality control, faster replacement part availability, and compliance with NFPA material standards. For departments managing grant-funded equipment purchases or cooperative procurement agreements, the domestic origin simplifies compliance documentation.
