Description

Wildfire Structure Protection Water Supply

Choose Fire Hose by System Function

Select each hose as an individual product by diameter, length, pressure rating, jacket, and connection type. Use 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch hose for sprinkler branches and full-loop distribution; use 1 1/2-inch hose to supply loops from pumps and other high-volume water sources.

Sprinkler Branches & Full Loops

Garden Hose Connection

Compact lay-flat hose for Water Winger sprinklers, yard sprinklers, and residential loop layouts.


Pump & High-Volume Supply

1 1/2-Inch Forestry Hose

Supply hose for moving water from a pump or high-volume source to one or more protection loops.


Hose Selection & Flow Chart

Match Hose to the Job

Approximate maximum discharge in U.S. gallons per minute from a straight 100-foot hose with an open end, no nozzle, no elevation change, and the stated pressure available at the hose inlet.

Estimated maximum flow rate (GPM) for 100 feet of 5/8-inch, 3/4-inch, and 1 1/2-inch fire hose at 20–60 PSI inlet pressure
Fire hose inside diameter 20 PSI 30 PSI 40 PSI 50 PSI 60 PSI Typical wildfire protection role
5/8-inch hose 8 GPM 9 GPM 11 GPM 12 GPM 14 GPM Sprinkler branch lines with garden hose ends
3/4-inch hose 12 GPM 15 GPM 18 GPM 20 GPM 22 GPM Residential loops; feeds a splitter serving two 5/8-inch sprinkler branches; longer runs to remote sprinklers or small handlines
1 1/2-inch forestry hose ≈70 GPM ≈87 GPM ≈102 GPM ≈115 GPM ≈126 GPM High-volume pump-to-loop supply; long runs to distant sprinklers or full-size fire nozzles; forestry quick-connect ends

Use these fire hose flow rates for comparison—not as guaranteed system output.

Actual gallons per minute are normally lower because hose length, internal construction, couplings, valves, elevation, water-source capacity, pump performance, nozzles, and operating sprinklers all consume pressure. Fifty-foot hose may flow more; connected or longer hose runs flow less. The 5/8-inch and 3/4-inch values are published 100-foot hose figures from Iowa State University Extension. The 1 1/2-inch forestry hose values are rounded estimates calculated from National Wildfire Coordinating Group friction-loss data.

How many GPM can a 3/4-inch fire hose flow?

A straight 100-foot 3/4-inch hose with an open end is estimated at 12 GPM at 20 PSI, 18 GPM at 40 PSI, and 22 GPM at 60 PSI.

How much can 1 1/2-inch forestry hose flow?

Estimated open flow through 100 feet is approximately 70 GPM at 20 PSI, 102 GPM at 40 PSI, and 126 GPM at 60 PSI before nozzle, fitting, and elevation losses.

1. Measure the route

Measure around the structure and plan around corners, elevation changes, fittings, and sprinkler takeoffs. Include spare length.

2. Protect the flow

Use larger supply hose where volume is critical and avoid unnecessary restrictions before branching to sprinklers.

3. Confirm compatibility

Match hose ends to pumps, fittings, and sprinklers. Contact Water Winger for alternate end configurations.

Professional System Guidance

Need Help Sizing Your Hose System?

A reliable structure protection layout starts with the available water supply—not hose size alone. We can help match hose diameter, total run length, fittings, pump capacity, elevation, and the number of sprinklers expected to operate together.

Have these details ready:

  • Water source and measured flow
  • Available working pressure
  • Hose route, length, and elevation
  • Sprinkler quantity and placement
