Where are the extended handle lugs located?

• A. On swivels of large intake hose
• B. On the pump valve intake
• C. On the hydrant discharge
• D. On the gate valve handle

Answer: (A)

Extended handle lugs provide extra leverage for handling and tightening large-diameter suction hoses. They’re built into the swivels of the large intake hose to give a firm grip and make connecting or breaking loose the hose quicker and easier, especially in tight or wet conditions. That’s why the location is on the swivels of the large intake hose. The other options serve different purposes (hydraulic discharge flow, valve operation) and aren’t where these extended lugs are found.
