When large diameter hose is used, how many connections to the tank are necessary?

When utilizing large diameter hose in water supply operations, only one connection to the tank is necessary. This connection is crucial as it allows for the efficient transfer of water from the tank to the hose, facilitating faster delivery of water to the desired location, such as an incident scene or storage tank. The design of the system with a single connection helps to minimize potential leak points and simplifies the process of setup and breakdown during operations.

Having one connection is sufficient because large diameter hoses are designed to carry a significant volume of water, and a single well-sealed connection can adequately handle the flow required during firefighting or other water supply operations. This efficiency is vital for maintaining quick response times, which are essential in emergency situations.
