QUESTIONS AND RESPONSE (S)

1. EACH ASSEMBLY TO BE COUPLED, MALE x FEMALE BOSS AND SPUD WITH POLYMER SEAT. MALE BOSS AND 
POLYMER SPUD TO BE PERMANENTLY ASSEMBLED AND READY FOR USE.

Response:
On the female end of the hose will be a stem with a wing nut (Dixon GB26 and B27) while on the male 
end will be a MNPT x hose stem with a female spud on the end (Dixon MS26 and B28).

2.  EACH HOSE ASSEMBLY SHALL BE PERMANENTLY MARKED, AT A MINIMUM, WITH REQUISITION NUMBER, WORKING 
PRESSURE AND MANUFACTURER'S NAME.

Response:
A stainless-steel metal tag will not satisfy this requirement as it is not a permanent marking and 
will be removed and replaced by a shop test tag. On previous hoses, they were marked by stamping 
the rubber on the exterior so that the rubber is raised from the surface of the hose.

3. DO YOU NEED MALE PIPE THREAD OR FEMALE PIPE THREAD ON THE ENDS?

Response:   See response under 
question #1.

4. VITON SEALS
Response:
A polymer type seal is what is typically used. Viton is an acceptable seal for this. All we require 
is that it can be used in steam systems of up to 450 degrees F.

5.  SWIVEL OR NOT SWIVEL?
Response:  See response under question #1.
