Cascade Gravity Sock – 1½" NH
The Cascade Gravity Sock – 1-1/2 in. NH provides a simple, portable way to collect water from an elevated stream, spring, or other flowing water source for wildland firefighting operations.
Constructed from heavy-duty treated canvas duck, the tapered sock is positioned in the water source and secured with stakes, rocks, or rope. A 1-1/2 in. NH hose line attaches to the outlet, allowing gravity to deliver water downhill toward the fire or operating area.
