CAUTION
INTERNAL CLANLINESS
Make sure all hoselines, fittings and valves are clean internally. Foreign materials
may disrupt operations and damage equipment.
NOTE
Liberally apply petroleum to the gasgest and the inside surfacres of coupling
gasket over one prevent pinching during installation. Then, pull the coupling
gasket over one grooved end of each mating joint. Ensure gasket is properly
positioned over full circumference of sealing surfaces. Position coupling clamp
over gasket. While mainting alignment of mating parts, lock coupling clamp
securely.
f.
Align mating surfaces of gate valves (4), tees (5), and coupling clamps (3) and assembles valve tee combinations
as shown.
g.
Connect 2 inch Cam-lock adapter (6) to tank (1) elbows.
h.
Connect 6 inch x 50-foot hose assemblies (7) between adapters (6) and valves (4) using coupling clamps (3).
i.
Check that gasket (8) are in place and connect 2 each female coupling adapters (9) to tank (1) valves.
j.
Connect 6 inch x 12-foot hose assemblies (10) between female coupling adpters (9) and valves (4) and tee (5)
and pump (2) using coupling clamps (3).
k.
Connect 6 inch x 50-foot hose assembly (7) to outlet side of pump (2) using clamp (3).
l.
Connect gate valve (4) and 6 inch x 50-ft hose assembly (7) to end of above hose using coupling clamp (3).
m.
Place 4 teach range poles (11), nylon cord (12), 1 each drop pan (13), absorbent oil material (14) and storage
drum (15) where they will be available for use if needed.

RANGE POLE INSTALLTION.
Install range poles and cords accross all 5000 bbl tanks. (see figure 4-9).
a.
A range pole consists of two sections of steel tubing. The assembled length is 6-1/2 feet, including a hardened
steel point permanently fastened to the lower end. A spring catch locks the two sections together.
b.
The range poles are used to roughly gauge and estimate the fuel quantity in the fabric collapsible tanks in the
TPT. Two poles are supplied for each 5,000 bbl tank. They are set in the berms on opposite sides of the tank and a cord
is stretched across the thank. The level of the cord can be set as bets suits the operator, however, it is recommended the
level be set at the full height of the thank, i.e., 6 feet 8 inches from the pad.
c.
It is recommended that a ball or other object be mounted on the cord at the center of the thank. Stakes and guy
lines may be added to eliminate sag in cord.
