5) Pump outlet tee Adaptor A-08.
6) Two 2 in. x 65 ft., blue-banded product water distribution discharge hoses.
7) Two Dispensing Nozzles V-523C and V-523D.
b. Inspect the gaskets in the female ends of the hoses and adaptors. Replace any
damaged or missing gaskets.
c. Connect Adaptor A-15 to the inlet of one of the extended product water distribution tanks.
d. Connect the male end of the straight section of Adaptor A-07 directly to the female outlet
of one of the extended distribution system tanks.
e. Connect one of the male-male 2 in. x 5 ft., blue-banded product water suction hoses to
the other end of the straight section of Adaptor A-07.
f. Connect the other end of the 5 ft. suction hose to the outlet of a second extended
distribution system tank.
g. Connect the female-female 5 ft., blue-banded suction hose to the remaining Adaptor A-07
connection and to the suction inlet of Product Water Distribution Pump P-8.
h. Connect the second male-male 5 ft., blue-banded suction hose from the middle tank to
the third tank.
i. Connect the pump outlet tee Adaptor A-08 to the discharge outlet of Product Water
Distribution Pump P-8.
j. Connect the one 2 in. x 65 ft., blue-banded product water distribution discharge hose to
each end of the straight section of pump outlet tee Adaptor A-08.
k. Connect one dispensing nozzle to the end of each of the product water distribution
discharge hoses.
l. Lay the dispensing nozzles on top of the pump frame. Do not leave them on the ground.
CAUTION
If the TWPS is operating, disconnect the product hose from Adaptor A-15 at the
standard distribution system tank before closing Adaptor A-15. Make sure that the
A-15 Adaptor valve on the extended distribution system tank is open before
connecting the product hose to it. Failure to observe this caution will cause the
relief valve RV-501 to vent.
m. When Distribution Tanks T-3 and T-4 of the standard water distribution system are filled,
the suction hose can be disconnected from Adaptor A-15 of the standard system and
connected to Adaptor A-15 in the extended distribution system.
1) Open the A-15 Adaptor valve on the extended distribution system tank.
2) Disconnect the product hose from Adaptor A-15 at the standard distribution
system tank, then close the valve on that adaptor.
3) Connect the product hose to Adaptor A-15 on the extended distribution system
tank.
