Attack and supply hose may be equipped with what type of coupling?

• A. Storz
• B. Threaded and non-threaded
• C. Quick-connect
• D. Barbed

Answer: (B)

Hose ends come in two basic coupling styles, and attack and supply hose may be equipped with either. In the field you can encounter threaded ends that accept standard hose couplings with male/female threads, or non-threaded ends that use a locking style such as Storz. Because both styles exist on attack and supply hoses, the most complete answer is that they may have threaded and non-threaded couplings. Quick-connects and barbed ends aren’t the standard for typical attack or supply hose connections, and Storz is a non-threaded type but doesn’t capture the possibility of threaded ends.
