In a single doughnut hose roll, where are the couplings positioned?

In a single doughnut hose roll, positioning both couplings on the outside is advantageous for several reasons. This configuration allows for easier deployment of the hose. When the hose is rolled with the couplings on the outside, unrolling to access the hose becomes simplified, as it prevents the couplings from getting stuck or tangled with other equipment or obstacles. This positioning also helps ensure that the couplings remain free and accessible once the hose is unrolled, facilitating a quicker setup during emergency scenarios.

This method is widely adopted in firefighting practices because it enhances efficiency and readiness, ensuring that firefighters can respond promptly and effectively when needed.
