What hitch can be used for transitions in the water supply to the relay line?

The rural hitch is specifically designed for efficiently transitioning in water supply situations, particularly in relay operations where water needs to be moved from a water source to a fire scene. This hitch is effective for securing hose lines in environments that may not have access to municipal water systems, typically found in more suburban or rural settings.

The rural hitch provides the necessary support and stability for the hose line, ensuring a secure connection that can withstand the pressures of water flow during a relay operation. This is crucial for maintaining a reliable supply line over potentially long distances.

In contrast, other hitches listed may be suited for different contexts or uses, such as urban scenarios or simpler applications, but they do not offer the same level of effectiveness in water relay operations faced in suburban fire tactics.
