2. PERFORMING THE ONE-PERSON FOOT-
TILT METHORD
 Place one foot on the hose behind the male
coupling.
 push down with your foot to tilt the male
coupling upward.
 place the other hand behind the female
coupling and grasp the hose.

4. PERFORMING THE TWO-PERSON
METHORD
 Pick up the male end of the coupling. Grasp it
directly behind the coupling and hold it tightly
against the body.
 The second brigade member hold the female
coupling firmly with both hands.
 The second brigade member brings the female
coupling to the male coupling.
 . The second brigade member aligns the female
coupling with the male coupling

6. The second brigade member turns the
female coupling counter clockwise until it
clicks.
Turn the female coupling clockwise to
couple the hoses.

7. PERFOMING THE ONE-PERSON KNEE-PRESS
METHORD
 Pick up the connection by the female coupling
end.
 Turn the connection upright resting the male
coupling on a film surface.
 Place a knee on the female coupling and with
body weight press down. Turn the female
swivel counterclockwise and loosen the
coupling.

8. PERFORMING THE TWO-PERSON STIFF-
ARM METHORD
 Two brigade member face each other and
firmly grasp their respective coupling.
 With elbows locked straight, the brigade
members push toward each other.
 While pushing toward each other, the brigade
members turn the coupling counter clockwise,
loosening the coupling.

10. WYES
A wyes is a device that splits one hose stream
into two hose streams.

11. WATER THIEF
 The water that comes from a single inlet can be
directed to a multiple outlets and one outlet that
same size as the inlet.

12. SIAMESE
It combine two hose lines into one.
Two female inlets into single outlet.

13. ADAPTORS
Adaptors are used for connecting hose couplings
of the same diameter that have dissimilar threads.
DOUBLE-FEMALE ADAPTOR-To join two
male hose couplings.
DOUBLE-MALE ADAPTOR-To join two
female hose couplings.

14. Double female
Double male

15. REDUCER
Reducer is used to attach a smaller hose to a larger
hose.

16. HOSE JACKET
Used to stop a leakage section of hose.

17. HOSE ROLLER
A roller is used to protect a hose when it is hoisted
over a sharp edge of a roof or a windowsill.

18. HOSE CLAMP
A hose clamp is used to temporarily interrupt the flow of
water in a hose line.

19. HOSE RAMP
Hose ramp is used for protecting hose from traffic
during fire fighting.

20. VALVES
Valves are used to control the flow of water in a
hose line.
1. BALL VALVES- These valves are used on nozzles,
gated wyes, and engine discharge gate.
2. GATE VALVES- These valves are found on hydrants
and on sprinkler systems.
3. BUTTERFLY VALVES- These valves are often found
on the large pump intake connections where a
hard suction hose or soft suction hose is
connected.
