1) The layer of fire hose is usually woven-jacket.

2) Booster hose resembles fire hose.

3) fibers are most commonly used in woven-jacket hose. 

4) Most -jacketed hose is double-jacket (2 layers). 

5) Preconnected hose on connections should be removed and replaced with fire service hose when in use. 

6) hose is made of several layers of braided, rubberized material. 

7) Booster hose is usually carried on and is available in 3/4 or 1 inch. 

8) Soft sleeve hose is used to transfer water from to pumper.

9) Hard suction hose is used for operations.

10) Curing is a manufacturing process that involves the application of heat and to set the hose shape, increases smoothness, and bond it to the outer jacket. 

11) The primary requirement of hose is resistance to detachment when or dragged.

12) hose is used for controlling and extinguishing fire.

13) Intake hose is used to connect a to a water source.

14) Extinguisher hose transports extinguishing agents from a to a nozzle.

15) Supply hose moves  volumes of water at low pressure.

16) Braided means covering a rubber liner with several alternate layers of braided and rubber.

17) Lined woven-jacket is constructed of 1 or more  jackets with a rubber tube inner lining. 

18) woven-jacket is constructed of only a fabric tube.

19) Wrapped hose is constructed by folding several layers of fabric around a rubber tube with  -gauge wire coiled between the fabric layers. 

20) Conventional extinguisher hose has a maximum discharge pressure of psi.

21) -pressure extinguisher hose has a maximum discharge pressure of 1,200 psi. 

22) Forestry hose is most commonly used in  firefighting.

23) Forestry and standpipe hose is single-jacketed and lined or .

24) When forestry hose has been designed to leak through the outer jacket, the hose is more  -resistant. 

25) The most common size of standpipe hose is inch. (use numbers and fractions)

26) The main disadvantage of standpipe hose is  with age.

27) Medium diameter hose has a large amount of friction loss in distance lays.

28) Thermoplastic linings have greater tensile strength and are than rubber.

29) is a liner process where rubber is pressed between opposing rollers to form a flat sheet, then a tube is formed by bonding the edges together.

30) is a liner process where a heated mass of rubber is forced under pressure through an orifice of an extrusion machine die to produce a seamless tube. 

31) Calendering is the most common method of  production today.

32) on threaded couplings serve to tighten and loosen connections.

33) Pressure loss in long hose lays using medium diameter hose can be overcome by laying several  lines and/or placing pumpers at intervals to boost pressure. 

34) The 5 sizes of diameter hose manufactured is 3 1/2", 4", 4 1/2", 5", and 6". 

35) The three methods of manufacturing couplings are Forging, Extruding, and .

36) couplings are the strongest. (method)

37) couplings are the weakest. (method)

38) The 3 basic coupling designs are: Threaded, Sexless, and 

39) Storz and -Turn are types of sexless couplings. 

40) The methods used to attach couplings to hose are the Collar, Banding, Expansion ring, Screw-in Expander, and ring methods.
