CHAPTER 10 Introduction (1 of 2) • Hose is the tool used to move water. • Firefighters must know how to store hose on the apparatus and how to deploy it. • Fire hose is a flexible conduit used to move water, or other agent, from a source to the fire. • Couplings, adapters, and appliances are used to connect hose. 6 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER 10 Introduction (2 of 2) • Today, many departments use National Standard Hose Threads. • Other departments use adapters to make connections to standard threaded couplings. • Adapters and appliances have been created or made lighter to make firefighting easier. 7 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER 10 Hose Tools and Appliances • Hose tools help move or operate hose lines. • Appliances are devices that water flows through, including adapters and connectors. • Tools include rope hose tools, wrenches, rollers, hose clamps, and other items. • Various types of valves are also used to control water flow and distribution. 8 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER 10 Advancing Hoselines • • Into structures Up and down stairs Using a standpipe system Working hose off a ladder 22 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER Establishing a Water Supply Line 10 • Several methods exist for establishing a water supply depending on: – Type of water source – Hydrant style – Hose lays used – Pumper use at water source 23 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER 10 Extending Hoselines (1 of 2) • Firefighters should be familiar with techniques used to extend hose lines. • The preferred method is the use of a break -apart nozzle. • The other method is the use of a hose clamp. – Use the clamp carefully and cautiously. 24 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER Deploying Master Stream Devices (1 of 6) 10 • Water applicators are capable of flowing over 350 gallons of water per minute. • A wagon pipe is a permanently mounted stream device. • A deluge set is not permanently mounted. • A monitor type device is a permanently mounted master stream device with a prepiped waterway on an aerial ladder or platform. 31 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER Deploying Master Stream Devices (2 of 6) 10 • A ladder pipe is a non-permanently mounted device needing a hose line. • Master stream devices are rigged and then charged. • For every foot of vertical reach needed, the device is moved one foot away. (solid stream tip) 32 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER Deploying Master Stream Devices (3 of 6) 10 • For horizontal reach, each pound of pressure equals 1 foot of reach. – Maximum reach is usually 3 floors. • A wagon pipe is a permanently mounted device. • The monitor pipe has a direct discharge. • Deluge set on top of an engine may be prepiped. 33 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning

CHAPTER Deploying Master Stream Devices (4 of 6) 10 • When using a deluge on the ground, intakes should be facing the fire building. • A ladder pipe needs a hose line for rigging it up a ladder and another for supply. 34 Copyright © 2007 Thomson Delmar Learning
