What is the typical range for pre-connected hose lines?

The typical range for pre-connected hose lines is between 50 to 250 feet. This range is commonly used in firefighting operations as it provides a balance between adequate reach to combat fires, particularly in urban environments, and the ease of handling and deployment.

Pre-connected hose lines are designed to allow firefighters to quickly access water and manage their flow without the delay of connecting hoses at the scene. A hose length of 50 to 250 feet is practical for most firefighting scenarios, enabling crews to navigate various building layouts and reach fires while maintaining good maneuverability.

Options outside this range are either impractical for quick deployment or may not effectively address the majority of scenarios encountered in firefighting, which is why they are less common.
