CHAPTER 6 - ELEVATORS, DUMBWAITERS, ESCALATORS AND MOVING WALKS
(c) Pipe Supports. Piping shall be so
supported as to eliminate undue
stresses at ioints and flttingS,
particularly at any section of the
line subject to vibration.
(d) Flexible Hydraulic Connections.
Ftexible hose and fitting
assemblies, and flexible
coup\ings, may be used tot
hydraulic connections. Where
installed between the check valve
or control valve and the cYlinder,
they shall conform to the tollowing
requirements:
(1) Flexible hose and fitting
assemblies shall:
(a) not be installed within the
hoist-waY, hot Project into
or through any wall.
lnstallation shall be
accomPlished without
intro-ducing twist in the
hose, and shall conform
with the minimuni bending
radius of SAE 100 R2
tyPe, High Pressure, Steel
Wire Reinforced, Rubber
Covered HYdraulic Hose
sPecified in SAE J517D.
(b) have a bursting strength
sufficient to withstand not
'd less than 10 times
working Pressure. TheY
shall be tested in the
factory or in the field Prior
to installation at the
pressure of not less than
5 times working Pressure
and shall be marked with
daie and Pressure oftest.
(c) be comPatible with the
fluid used;
(d) be of non-reusable tYPe
fittings;
(e) be PermanentlY marked
with the SAE hose tYPe
identification and the
required rePlacement
date which shall not be
112
more than 6 Years beYond
the installation date'
(2) Flexible couplings shall be so
designed and constructed thd.
failure of the sealing elemeril
will not Permit seParation d
the Parts connected.

(a) PumP Relief Valves. Eadt
pump or groqp of PumPs shatl be
,bquiilped- with a
relief valve
conforming to the
requirements:
(1) Type and Location. TtE
relief valve shall be located
between the PumP and the
check ,valve and shall be d
such a tyPe and so installed in
the by-pass connection thd
the valve cannot be shut d
from the hydraulic sYstem.
(2) Setting, The relief valve shd
be Preset to open at a
pressure not greater than
125% of working Pressure.
(3) Size. The size of the relief
valve and bY-Pass shall be
sufficient to Pass the
maximurn rated caPacitY
the pump without raising tlc
pressure more than
above that at which the valle
opens. Two or more
valves may be used to obtah
the required caPacitY.
(4) Sealing. Relief valves
exposed
adjustments, ifused,
have their means
adjustments sealed
being set to the
pressure.
Exception [Sec. 6.5.7.2
No relief valves is required
centrifugal pumps driven
induction motors, Provided
shut-off, or
pressure which the PumP can
develop, is not greater than
