Roundabout hose load video. The idea came from the Cleveland High-rise pack. With the growing popularity of this, we have come to find there are other departments out there that do something very similar, aka hoff, metro, donut. Whatever be the name, it works great. We are not trying to take credit for the idea, just for getting the word out. Either way, stay safe! CFD

IF you can charge it to at least 110-120 psi initially, it wont matter what nozzle you have, since while it’s being charged the nozzle will most likely be closed. Once the load “pops”, you can open the nozzle, let air out, then go. We actually run with the auto nozzle, but pull the end off at the door, making it a smooth bore before entering.
