                                     1 - 2 1/2” nozzle

All five (5) team members will start behind the start line located 25 feet from the equipment area.  The equipment area is to be 160 feet long.  Prior to the event, the team will connect all three lengths of hose and the nozzle.  All couplings are to be hand tight and will be inspected by the judges before the team starts the event.  Upon start signal from the judge, team members will proceed toward the equipment area and disconnect all three lengths of hose.  The hose will then be rolled into single storage rolls with the male couplings on the outside of the roll.  All three lengths of hose and the nozzle will then be carried across the finish line and placed in a rack and the nozzle hung on a hook located on the rack.  Time is taken when all three lengths of hose and the nozzle are in the rack and all five (5) team members have crossed the finish line. The rack is to be constructed with three slots, one for each section of  hose. Each slot is to be ½ inch wider than the width of a 2 ½ hose rolled up.
