' /> Why do some depts. have the female ends hanging out of the bed at the bottom of the hose lay? <img src='http://www.firepics.net/groupboards/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blush.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote]
Before switching over to 5" other than on 1 engine and our spare's... We ran all of our enigne's with 3" with the Male End on top due to the first in engine would start the fire attack and the second in would lay out to plug and pump back to the first... With male end out first it would tie right into the female intake fittings and the female would tie right into the discharge side on the other... We also run with double males and female tied on to them in case the first in would lay thier on line off hydrant pressure...
