4-14. TRANSFER HOSELINE. - continued
NOTE
Liberally apply petrolatum to the gasket and the inside surface of coupling clamp
to 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
maintaining alignment of mating parts, lock coupling ,:lamp securely.
e.
Tighten coupling clamps (1) to gate valves (2), being careful not to damage the gasket (3).
f.
Connect gate valves (2) to tees (4).
g.
Connect transfer hoseline (quantity as required) between tees (4.) and receipt manifold assemblies. See (figures
4-1 and 4-2) for typical layouts for remainder of transfer hoseline interconnecting hose.
4-15. NESTABLE CULVERTS.
a.
Nestable culverts are 12-inch corrugated culvert pipe, through which hose can be routed and thus protected from
traffic weight, and other effects which might cause hose damage. They can also be used in other places, such as
protecting the hose from rock, or from ballast and cinders under a railroad spur. The culverts are part of the fuel unit
support assembly.
CAUTION
Hoselines can be easily damaged by vehicles crossing them. Be sure well covered
culverts are installed where traffic is expected. Do not permit vehicles to cross
unprotected hose.
b.
Install culverts at road crossings where hoselines cross under an area where vehicle traffic is planned. Erect
signs stating, "Danger, Hoseline Crossing".
4-16. FLOODLIGHT SETS.
WARNING
GROUNDING AND BONDING
Ground and bond equipment at time of installation to prevent explosion or fire.
NOTE
Installation of Floodlights early in the erection program is necessary to permit
work at night.
a.
Service, install, and prepare the floodlight sets for operation in accordance with TM 9-6230-211-14. Observe all
warnings and cautions.
