Of the following hydrant connections, which provides the largest water flow?
A: 10-foot soft suction
B: 10-foot semi-rigid suction
C: 35-foot soft connection
D: 3 ½” hose
Of the following hydrant connections, which provides the largest water flow?
A: 10-foot soft suction
B: 10-foot semi-rigid suction
C:✔35-foot soft connection
D: 3 ½” hose
Explanation:
10-foot soft suction – can be bent but will straighten when charged with water and is very difficult to kink. At 10 feet long, it is the shortest hydrant connection and requires accurate positioning close to the hydrant.
10-foot semi-rigid suction – can be bent and will straighten when charged.
35-foot soft connection – 35 feet long. It provides the largest flow of any hydrant connection, but has the potential to kink, so it needs to be properly flaked out.
3 ½” hose – no limit on the number of lengths that can be used. Allows for the greatest flexibility, but provides the least water flow.
