2. Fire hose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hose

   Partially Embedded suction hose This embedding is arranged so that it provides a full waterway and a relatively smooth internal surface. The wall of the hose is prepared from several layers of canvas and rubber lining so that turns of each one lie midway between turns of the other.

3. Hard suction hose - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_suction_hose

   5-inch (13 cm) flex suction hose with Storz fittings, mounted on an engine. Flexible suction hose (Flex suction or suction hose), not to be confused with hard suction hose in U.S., is a specific type of fire hose used in drafting operations, when a fire engine uses a vacuum to draw water from a portable water tank, pool, or other static water source.

4. Central vacuum cleaner - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_vacuum_cleaner

   When not in use, the hose is loosely coiled around a wire rack mounted on a closet wall, or on the back of a door. An alternative for storing vacuum hoses is the "Hide-A-Hose" system, which uses suction to draw the hose into the vacuum piping in the wall for storage. Hose lengths used are typically 30/40/50 ft (9/12/15 m).

5. Draft (water) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft_(water)

   To reduce drafting friction and obtain a larger flow or higher lift, a larger cross-section of suction hose is employed. For example, using a five-inch (127 mm) hose, a pump that could lift 500 US gallons per minute (30 L/s) up 23 feet (7.0 m) would only be able to lift the same amount of water 12.5 feet (3.8 m) through a 3.5-inch (89 mm) hose.

6. Fire hydrant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_hydrant

   The user (most likely a fire department) attaches a hose to the fire hydrant, then opens a valve on the hydrant to provide a powerful flow of water, on the order of 350 kilopascals (51 psi); this pressure varies according to region and depends on various factors (including the size and location of the attached water main).

7. Offshore embedded anchors - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Offshore_embedded_anchors

   Suction caissons (also known as suction buckets, suction piles, or suction anchors) are a new class of embedded anchors that have a number of economic advantages over other methods. They are essentially upturned buckets that are embedded into the soil and use suction, by pumping out the water to create a vacuum, to anchor offshore floating ...

8. Büchner flask - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Büchner_flask

   Cross section of a Büchner Flask. Note the hose barb pointing right for attaching a vacuum source. A Büchner flask, also known as a vacuum flask, [1] filter flask, suction flask, side-arm flask, or Bunsen flask, is a thick-walled Erlenmeyer flask with a short glass tube and hose barb protruding about an inch from its neck.

9. Suction excavator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suction_excavator

   A suction excavator, or vacuum excavator, is a construction vehicle that removes heavy debris or other materials from a hole on land using vacuuming. Suction excavators are meant to be less destructive than regular excavators . [ 1 ]
