3-6. COMPONENT REPLACEMENT (COUPLING CLAMPS).
Removal of defective components from the assembled water system is accomplished by removing the coupling
clamp at both ends of the component and removing the defective item Installation of replacement components
is performed by positioning the new component in the water system and installing coupling clamps at both ends
of the component.
This task consists of a. Removal
b. Installation
INITIAL SET-UP:
Personnel Required:
Equipment Condition:
Two
Water system shutdown (para 2-13d)

water system contamination.
NOTE
Replacement of a typical 6-inch butterfly valve is shown. Replacement of all water system
components with grooved pipe couplings is similar.
