This skill video demonstrates how to make a donut hose roll.
Method One
1. Lay the section of hose flat and in a straight line.
2. Start the roll from a point 5 or 6 feet (1.5 m or 1.8 m) off center toward the male coupling.
3. Roll the hose toward the female end.
a. Leave sufficient space at the center loop to insert a hand for carrying
4. Extend the short length of hose at the female end over the male threads to protect them.
Method Two
1. Grasp either coupling end, and carry it to the opposite end. The looped section should lie flat, straight, and without twists.
2. Face the coupling ends.
3. Start the roll on the male coupling side about 2½ feet (0.8 m) from the bend (1½ feet [0.5 m] for 1½-inch [38 mm] hose).
4. Roll the hose toward the male coupling.
5. Pull the female side back a short distance to relieve the tension if the hose behind the roll becomes tight during the roll.
6. Lay the roll flat on the ground as the roll approaches the male coupling.
7. Draw the female coupling end around the male coupling to complete the roll.
Twin Donut Roll Method
1. Lay a section of hose flat, without twisting, to form two parallel lines from the loop end to the couplings (couplings should now be next to each other).
2. Start the roll by folding the loop end over and upon the two hose lengths.
3. Roll both lengths simultaneously toward the coupling ends to form a twin roll with a decreased diameter.
4. Insert a strap through the center of the roll for carrying purposes.
