6-inch 300 pound raised face flanges, in accordance with ANSI B16.5, and shall be fitted with
steel blind flanges including suitable gaskets to protect the pump connections during shipment
and periods of non-use. The pumps shall be furnished with pipe adapters for the suction and
discharge connections having a 300 pound raised face flange connection on one end and an
Inland Petroleum Distribution System (IPDS) 6 inch single groove connection, as shown in
figure 2, on the other end. The adapters shall be designed so that when attached to the suction
and discharge connections, the IPDS single groove ends are positioned 9.5 + 1.5 inches vertically
from the bottom of the skid. If the suction adapter is not identical to the discharge adapter, each
shall be labeled accordingly.
3.11.5 Casing vent lines. The pump casing vent lines shall be routed to a point at the edge of
the skid base and shall terminate in a single 3/4-inch pipe. The height of the pipe shall be

e. Automatic engine shutdown controls in the event of engine overspeed, high coolant
temperature, low lubricant oil pressure, or pump low suction pressure (device with an
adjustable working range of 0-50 psig.
f. Spark-arresting muffler with guard.
g. Drain tube to permit draining the engine oil into a container without soiling other
components of the system.
h. Auxiliary charging receptacle conforming to MIL-C-62122 for recharging the
