How Kinks Affect Your Fire Flow System - Brass Tacks & Hard Facts (Episode 35) 

I do not want to be taken as attacking or criticizing your video! I think this was a tremendous video that proved a testament to your "high quality hose!" I would like to see the same comparison with new and used 1.5 and 1.75 hose. My guess is, as you pointed out, different equipment, age, quality, and condition, could have more significant results on your test. It might even be that going with your HQH, eliminate's the problem in most cases. I know that 15 years ago, we went to low psi red heads and I proved with a flow meter, that putting one good kink in the hose took us down by 50%! Repeatedly! I think your video makes a great case for upgrading and modernizing a department's old and tired hose! Thank you for an informative video!

What was the hose size in this test? 1 1/2" or 1 3/4"? Also, with the increased use of wetting agents in modern fire apparatus, it would be interesting to see how these agents affect flows using the same parameters.

*DON’T KINKSHAME ME!*

Was the hose kinked before the line was flowing or was it while the hose was flowing correctly?
