The "fluffy" materials would be burned if we severed his hose. We were so unable to get a uniform crimp. Unless you're a total stickler for detail, I'd like not to deal with fluff while working with hoses. I would prefer to work with a hose that has one or two wires. Their pliability remains intact.

So I start at the bottom, while I go back and forth, all the dirty water flows down and doesn't sit in what I just cleaned. That way I only have to clean once.

Tricks of the Trade - Hooking up to a Fire Hydrant

Since I'm by myself today, I'll show you how to put up our fire hydrant so I can swiftly fill up my 525 tank. I'm transporting this today. A 16-foot trailer is being pulled by an F350 flatbed.
