TM 10-4320-317-13
CAUTION
Do not leave hose on roadway or track that will be used by other
vehicles. Hoseline is easily damaged by rough handling or abrasive
contact with rocks.
(h) Restrain hose manually until first 50 ft (15 m) of hose is in position. After 50 ft (15 m) of hose is in position,
the weight of the hose will hold line in place.
(i) Continue to lay hose until hoseline in all four hoselines have been laid.
(j) Connect hoseline to each boost pumping station and storage assembly as those installation sites are
reached.
(k) Connect end cap on last segment with 6-inch boltless coupling (para. 2-8.b.).
(I) Retain empty tricons for reuse.
e.
Install Road Crossing Guards. Perform the following (Figure 2-9):
Figure 2-9. Road Crossing Guard
(1) Dig trench (1)18-inches (45.7 cm) deep across road.
(2) Engineering support is required if hoseline is being run beneath a railway bed.
(3) Lay hoseline (2) in trench (1).
(4) Position roadway crossing guards (3) over hoseline at appropriate intervals. Nail roadway crossing guards
(3) to plank (4) if used.
(5) Backfill trench (1) using dirt removed in step (1). Fill trench (1) to a level 1 - 2-inches (2.54 - 5.1 cm) above
original road bed before packing earth down.
f.
Install Suspension Devices. Install suspension kits as follows:
(1) Using available materials, construct a tripod (1, Figure 2-10) on either side of stream, gap, or other obstruction
to be spanned. Tripods should be strong and high enough to support hoseline.
