Questions about the Vertex Throw Rope
How long is the rope in the NRS Vertex Throw Rope?
It holds 70 feet of lightweight, high-strength rope.
Can it be used as a Z-drag haul line?
Yes. It is designed for on-water rescues or as a haul line in Z-drag rescue scenarios.
Does the rope float?
Yes. The polypropylene sheath keeps the rope on the surface, and internal foam flotation keeps the bag on top of the water.
How strong is the bag and rope system?
Knots reduce a rope's tensile strength, so NRS makes no claim about the strength of the bag as a whole; NRS does not list a load rating for this rope; contact us with strength questions.
Is the Vertex Throw Rope 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.
