What is the "official" name of this side saddle trough?

[u/DoItForTheOH94]

Our mechanic is needing to know the official name of this side saddle, to replace a damaged one on an Engine. The TO, diagrams, schematics, etc do not say a name or refer to it. We've called it trash line beds, side saddles, side buckets, etc.

Anyone know what the OFFICIAL name is?

Seagrave calls it, left or right side “Running Board with Hose Well”

[u/Strict-Canary-4175]

Side well

[u/CaptainRUNderpants]

Spartan calls them “Hose Wells” in their spec documents

[u/CaptainQuasi]

That “lil thingy on the side you can put stuff in”

[u/TLunchFTW]

Hose gooch

[u/vg66]

We call them a hose well.

[u/NYR_dingus]

Empty water bottle holder. Or at least that's where the guys dump trash after a fire lol.

[u/boatplumber → u/NYR_dingus]

Why would you do that if the street is right there?

[u/wernermurmur]

Hosewell I thought?

[u/ofd227]

Hose through

[u/ElectronicCountry839]

It's an Italian design.

Looks like you might also be USAF? You might see if your LRS/VM squadron can get ahold of someone at another LRS/VM squadron and see if they know the answer.

Otherwise the easiest way is to get ahold of the manufacturer. We had to do that at my last base for one of our trucks that was constantly leaking from the tank to pump and help us diagnose what the issue was.

Best of luck to you!

[u/gunmedic15]

Hose well or step well.

Hose Trough

[u/LoveDogsTx]

Uh. Is this supposed to be wrong answers only? It’s obviously a urinal guys. Come on

[u/DoItForTheOH94 → u/LoveDogsTx]

I was asking for legit answers, but that's what I get for asking firefighters and also firefighters on Reddit.

[u/malice427 → u/DoItForTheOH94]

Firefighters, we aren’t smart but we have fun

[u/DoItForTheOH94 → u/malice427]

My Captain is super serious so he hates it when I'm sarcastic.

[u/OP-PO7]

We call it the FUPA, for Fire Utility at Pump Area, but I don't think the manufacturer recognizes that. They keep asking us to stop actually

[u/Slappy-Sacks]

I’d honestly just call the manufacturer

[u/mmgoisaii]

Dunnage.

[u/ReApEr01807 → u/mmgoisaii]

The dunnage is on top of the pump, is it not? That area below the deck gun, usually where the generator sits

[u/firetacoma → u/mmgoisaii]

Yeah, we call it the side dunnage.

[u/jeremiahfelt]

Midship stepwell or footwell

[u/underwoodmodelsowner]

hose holster

[u/Handlebarheroin]

Pony length compartment. But with a locking lid on ours. This one, if it stays put while driving looks much better.

[u/Apparatusis]

We call em coffins, but I think side well might be “official”

[u/Curri → u/Apparatusis]

We refer to compartments on the top of the apparatus coffins. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[u/WeakerThanYou]

i love seeing the way different apparatus are set up after looking at ours all the time.

[u/castironburrito → u/gol10]

engineer's urinal?

[u/Major-Marketing6243]

Hose box. But I’d turn that piston to the right one click because once you charge that 5”, it definitely will kink right there

[u/ReApEr01807 → u/Major-Marketing6243]

Look at how bent that hosewell is from them doing the opposite of what you said

[u/lump532]

In 25+ years I honestly don’t think I’ve ever called it anything.

[u/Serious_Cobbler9693 → u/lump532]

We usually called it ‘The rookie forgot to strap the hose in and now it’s splayed out all over the road.’ because our roads were so bumpy we had to bungee cord them in.

[u/lump532 → u/Serious_Cobbler9693]

Having performed a spontaneous 10 second forward lay, I feel this.

[u/WaxedHalligan4407]

"Running Board Hose Trough" or "Running Board Floating Hose Trough" depending on how it's built.

[u/Smokey_Jumps]

Bitch basket

[u/DonJuanBronson]

I've heard it referred to as a dunnage by a few guys in different departments around me

[u/Kevinbranch37]

I call it it/them driver side and passenger side well(s). Like most fire service things, I imagine the nomenclature changes vastly across the world

[u/MuscularShlong]

Side well or trough. Its not specifically made for hose so I wouldnt call it a hose well. Even though probably 99% of us keep our shorties in there.

[u/ottis1guy]

I call that one bent.

[u/Harold_Grundelson]

Driver/Engineer or Officer Side Trashcan
