Which hose roll begins at the male coupling end?

The straight roll is initiated at the male coupling end of the hose and is often used for deployment purposes. This roll allows for quick and efficient unrolling of the hose when needed. Starting at the male coupling makes it easier to connect the hose to a water supply or another section of hose when the situation demands rapid action.

In firefighting, being able to quickly deploy and manage hose lines is critical, so the straight roll is favored for its practicality and ease of use. It also provides a compact way to store hoses without tangling, ensuring readiness for immediate use.
