2.3.8 Assembly of 10-Mile Hoseline Segment.
2.3.8.1 Requirements. Assembly of 10-mile hoseline segment requires the tools, personnel, and components
listed in paragraph 2.3.8.2. Remove the required components from the "10-MILE SEGMENT" crate. Perform
inspection of each part for damage and operability.
2.3.8.2 General Information. This paragraph provides general instructions for assembly of the 10-mile
hoseline segment.
NOTE
Newer model flaking boxes contain two 500 foot hose assemblies. If newer model
flaking boxes are used there will be a total of 54 flaking boxes supplied with a
TWDS.
2.3.8.2.1 Hoseline is packed in 33 crates. Each crate contains four flaking boxes. Each flaking box contains one
500 foot length of hoseline. Installation of 10-mile segment will require at least 27 crates, 108 flaking boxes of
hoseline. Use enough hoseline to provide approximately three feet of slack so that connections to pumping
stations and storage assemblies are easily made.
2.3.8.2.2 Hoseline is installed by flaking hose from rear of truck and manually positioning hose. The lengths of
hose are connected together using 6 inch grooved pipe couplings. Every 1,000 feet, a swivel joint is installed to
eliminate twisting and possible damage to the equipment during hoseline packing.
