2. Connect the hoses as follows:
WARNING
Health hazard. Do not attempt to use product water hoses to handle raw water or
raw water hoses to handle product water. When installed with the proper adaptors
as directed, the hoses cannot be interchanged. Failure to observe this warning
and mixing hoses could cause contamination of water resulting in serious illness.
a. Collect the following adaptors, hoses, and dispensing nozzles:
1) Adaptor A-15.
2) Tee Adaptor A-07.
3) Two 2 in. x 5 ft., blue-banded product water suction hoses with male couplings
at both ends.
4) One 2 in. x 5 ft., blue-banded product water suction hose with female couplings
at both ends.
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 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 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 the other distribution 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. Layout the two 2 in. x 65 ft., blue-banded product water distribution discharge hoses at
the general location where the P-8 pump will be set.
3. Install the hose heating blankets as follows (see Figure 16 for blanket installation drawing):
a. Refer to Table 9 below for a listing of the hoses that get heating blankets. DO NOT
attempt to connect any of the power cables at this time.
b. Roll out the hose heating blanket and place the outside surface down next to the hose.
c. Lift the hose and slide the heating blanket under the hose.
d. Wrap the heating blanket around the hose and secure with the hook and loop strips.
e. When two or more heating blankets are used on hose combinations, join the blankets at
the seams.
f. The straps that were removed from the rolled up blankets can be strapped around the
installed blankets at the ends.
g. Heating blankets must be positioned over the couplings at the end of the hose.
4. Lay out the hose heating blanket power cables to the spot where Diesel-Driven P-8 Pump Skid
will be placed. The heating blanket power cables will be connected to the P-8 junction box later
after the pump is brought out off the TWPS, started, and deployed in its proper location.
