What is the maximum length of fire hose that can be connected to a single nozzle?

The maximum length of fire hose that can be connected to a single nozzle is 100 feet. This is based on the consideration of effective water flow and pressure. When hose length increases, friction loss occurs, which diminishes the water pressure and flow rate reaching the nozzle. By restricting the maximum length to 100 feet, it ensures that firefighters can maintain adequate pressure and flow, allowing for effective fire-fighting operations. This standard is established to optimize performance in emergency situations, balancing the need for reach with the necessity of maintaining firefighting effectiveness.
