Chafing blocks are devices that are used to protect [a] fire hose [when] the hose is subjected to rubbing from vibrations. Chafing blocks are particularly useful where intake hose comes in contact with pavement or curbs. At these points, wear on intake hose is most likely because vibrations from the pumper may keep the intake hose in constant motion. Chafing blocks may be made of wood, leather, or sections of old truck tires. 2, record 1, English, - chafing%20block

Les manchons de protection sont des outils servant à empêcher les tuyaux d'incendie de s'user sous l'effet des vibrations. Ils sont particulièrement utiles aux endroits où les tuyaux d'alimentation entrent en contact avec le pavé ou les bordures de trottoir. À ces points de contact, les tuyaux sont plus susceptibles de s'user car les vibrations de l'autopompe peuvent les garder en mouvement constant. Les manchons de protection peuvent être faits de bois, de cuir ou de sections de vieux pneus de camion. 3, record 1, French, - manchon%20de%20protection
