Parts connected to breakaway fittings
must be installed without applying

break.
NOTE
Procedure is similar to install
breakaway fittings in any fuel tank
except captive breakaway fitting (1) at
forward and aft ends of main fuel tank
(Task 10-48.4). Forward No. 1 (left)
intertank area shown here contains
typical breakaway fitting installations.

2.
Position manifold (7), hose (8), tube (9) and
applicable seals and packings on breakaway
fittings (3). Install eight bolts (10), washers (11),
and nuts (12) loosely. If connecting hose coupling
(13) breakaway fitting, hold flats with wrench
while tightening. Connect tube at other end.
3.
Connect hose (14).
4.
Tighten bolts (10) at breakaway fittings (3). Use
wrench on flats to prevent application of force
to breakaway fittings.
