What are the accessories for fire hoses? What are their uses?

2025-07-14

　　Fire hose accessories include hose wraps, hose hooks, hose bridges, connectors, and water dividers.

　　① Hose wraps are used to wrap around damaged sections of fire hoses and are one of the necessary accessories on fire trucks. They consist of canvas straps and metal clamps.

　　② Hose hooks are tools for hanging fire hoses. During firefighting operations, when hoses are vertically laid to high places, hose hooks are used to hang the hoses on ladders or other objects, reducing the downward force on the hoses and facilitating the operation of water guns for fire extinguishing. Hose hooks consist of canvas straps, metal hooks, and semi-rings.

　　③ Hose bridges are used to protect hoses laid across traffic routes, ensuring that normal vehicle traffic is not affected. They are characterized by high strength, pressure resistance, durability, and ease of storage.

　　④ There are many types of connectors, including hose connectors, pipe connectors, reducers, special connectors, and threaded connectors. They are used to connect hoses to each other, fire hydrants, fire pumps, and water guns. According to their structure, they can be divided into several types, such as internal locking, insertion, and threaded types.

　　⑤ The uses of water dividers are: firstly, to split one water stream into two or more streams; secondly, to act as a switch. With a water divider, the water stream can be turned on or off from the hose line without having to go to the pump, thus shortening the time required to turn the water stream on or off and ensuring timely water supply to the fire scene. There are three types of water dividers: two-way, three-way, and four-way dividers.
