2.8.2 Preparation for Movement of 10-Mile Hoseline. (Continued)
x. Remove grooved-end pipe quick disconnect coupling clamp (8) (para 2.3.3.1) connecting end cap (3)
with pneumatic coupler (4) to nipple (9).
y. Remove grooved-end pipe quick disconnect coupling clamp (10) (para 2.3.3.1) connecting nipple (9)
to hoseline segment (7).
NOTE
End caps must be installed on collapsed hoseline to prevent hose from expanding
before it is packed.
z. Connect end cap (Figure 2-57, 1) to hoseline segment (Figure 2-58, 7) using grooved-end pipe quick
disconnect coupling (10) (para 2.3.3.2).
aa. Repeat steps a through z for each downline hoseline segment. Move air compressor down two hose
lengths. Evacuate trailing hose then lead hose length to minimize number of times air compressor is
to be moved.
ab. When a hoseline length has been evacuated, collapsed, and capped, it is ready for packing in a
flaking box.
ac. When a swivel joint is removed, return it and one grooved-end pipe quick disconnect coupling clamp
to lead pumping station installation site.
2.8.2.3 Repacking Hoseline Segments in Flaking Box Assemblies.

Clear sharp objects out of flaking box before packing. Any object pressed against
hose during packing could puncture it.
a. Clean empty flaking box assembly (Figure 2-59, 1).
Figure 2-59. Flaking Box Assembly Preparation.
b. Perform steps a and b or c of paragraph 2.3.8.4 to load empty flaking box on truck.
