Questions about the Compact Rescue Throw Bag
How long is the rope in the NRS Compact Rescue Throw Bag?
It holds 70 feet of 1/4 inch yellow polypropylene rope.
What is the maximum load?
The rope is rated to 950 lbs. (4.2 kN). Knots reduce a rope's tensile strength, so NRS makes no claim about the strength of the bag as a whole; the maximum load listed is for the rope alone.
Does the throw bag float?
Yes. Internal foam flotation keeps the bag on the surface, and the polypropylene rope floats too.
How heavy is it?
It weighs 1.2 lbs, which makes it easy to carry in a kayak or a rescue kit.
Is the Compact Rescue Throw Bag flame resistant or rated for firefighting?
No. It is water rescue gear, not flame resistant, not structural firefighting PPE and not NFPA 1971 certified. Keep it away from fire and high heat.
