An external portable standpipe tool is an apparatus used to secure the nozzle of a pressurized water supply line to provide a reliable water supply for fire suppression in place of a conventional standpipe. The external portable standpipe tool utilizes a first bracket, a second bracket, an external mounting structure, and a plurality of bracket fasteners to mount a pressurized water supply line in a desirable location. The first bracket is removably engaged to the second bracket, enabling a user to capture and retain the nozzle and supply line. The plurality of bracket fasteners is engaged into the first bracket and the second bracket is used to fix them together. The external mounting structure attaches the combined assembly of the first bracket and the second bracket to an external structure, such as a railing or support beam.
