The Bundles - Big Line Experiment

We tried doing a bundle load using 100' of 2.5" hose. The load was 8' in length. It worked well except it did kink towards the end but straightened out when we pulled it. Our idea is it would be a good use to load on static loads to be sure you always had 100' of working hose with you that could be deployed in a limited space is need be We would advise to try it in a 9' length to try and overcome the kinking issue.

how high of pressure did you have to crank the pump up to get it to pop?

We use this system in new zealand, called the inverted bandolier over here though. Seems to work better with our smaller diameter hose. Works great, well for our situations any way

I have watched a few of these and it seems to work well with the tft on the end. Is the pressure high enough with the smoothbores on bigger lines to keep it from kinking?

I realize we all teach not to water hammer equipment, however in the case of this bundle it is not true. If the engineer runs the pump to the correct, if not a little higher psi and open the discharge quickly, this bundle will POP open much easier.

up the pressure to get it to kick out at the end. It is a great hose load to use in stairwells or if you are a small department and don't have enough guys to flake it out

Good to see some of us actually having a think about how we can do things differently and hopefully better. Good work guys.
