Hose loads vary from company to company depending on the area that they cover. The basic hose load for a pipeline company, which all of the new LaFrance compnaies are going to is two sections for 5 inch line (for a total of 1000 feet), two sections of three inch, and the rest 1 3/4. One of the sections will have three lengths of three inch and three lengths of 1 1/3 connected by a gated wye. This line is preconnected. It is commonly referred to as "3 over 3".
