A wheeled line irrigation system has a water main supported on a plurality of towers and has a truss built of truss rods attached to the water main to support a plurality of drop hoses connected to the water main over the trusses for distribution of irrigation water from an irrigation system to the crops below. The improvement includes a truss rod hose sling having a body having a hose supporting clamp portion for clamping onto a hose. The hose supporting clamp portion has an axial opening for holding a hose in an expandable side opening for sliding a hose into the axial opening. The truss rod hose sling body has a pair of truss rod clamps for clamping the truss rod hose sling to a truss rod. Each truss rod clamp is generally perpendicular to the axial opening in the hose supporting clamp portion and is on an opposite side of the hose supporting clamp portion expandable side opening to prevent the side opening from expanding when the truss rod clamps are clamped to a truss rod. This holds the hose in the hose supporting clamp portion. The irrigation system also includes a coupling for the water main which allows the drop hoses to be attached at an angle from the water main.
