Like Steve said, it depends. Here is a brochure link that may help. http://www.elkhartbrass.com/files/aa/downloads/catalog/catalog-f2-01-08.pdf
There's 2.5 in. hose and there are 2.5 in. couplings with 3 in. hose. All kinds of nozzles from adjustable to smooth bore tips from 1/2 in. to 2 in. The hose and hose monitors we carried had both adjustable nozzles and stackable smooth bore tips. Then the pump operator may use preset pressures or manual throttles. It depends on the fire and yes, it's a wrestling match and not a one man job unless it is the ground monitor.
