Firefighting
The context is a pressure regulator integrated into the water supply between the hydrant and the hose:
Durch dieses System wird eine Drucküberlastung der Angriffsleitung auch ohne Wasserentnahme ausgeschlossen.
This is apparently the water supply line used directly to attach the fire, i.e. hose and nozzle.
Any volunteer firemen (women) out there know how to properly refer to this section in English?
Thanks

: In den USA z.B. wird die Angriffsleitung direkt ab Pumpenausgang verlegt. In Deutschland dagegen wird ein Verteiler zwischengeschaltet.

Comment: "As you say, a literal translation - at least usable if not ideal."
