Sec. 154.500  Hose assemblies.


    Each hose assembly used for transferring oil or hazardous material 
must meet the following requirements:
    (a) The minimum design burst pressure for each hose assembly must be 
at least four times the sum of the pressure of the relief valve setting 
(or four times the maximum pump pressure when no relief valve is 
installed) plus the static head pressure of the transfer system, at the 
point where the hose is installed.
    (b) The maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) for each hose 
assembly must be more than the sum of the pressure of the relief valve 
setting (or the maximum pump pressure when no relief valve is installed) 
plus the static head pressure of the transfer system, at the point where 
the hose is installed.
    (c) Each nonmetallic hose must be usable for oil or hazardous 
material service.
    (d) Each hose assembly must either have:
    (1) Full threaded connections;
    (2) Flanges that meet standard B16.5, Steel Pipe Flanges and Flang 
Fittings, or standard B.16.24, Brass or Bronze Pipe Flanges, of the 
American National Standards Institute (ANSI); or
    (3) Quick-disconnect couplings that meet ASTM F 1122 (incorporated 
by reference, see Sec. 154.106).
    (e) Each hose must be marked with one of the following:
    (1) The name of each product for which the hose may be used; or
    (2) For oil products, the words ``OIL SERVICE''; or
    (3) For hazardous materials, the words ``HAZMAT SERVICE--SEE LIST'' 
followed immediately by a letter, number or other symbol that 
corresponds to a list or chart contained in the facility's operations 
manual or the vessel's transfer procedure documents which identifies the 
products that may be transferred through a hose bearing that symbol.
    (f) Each hose also must be marked with the following, except that 
the information required by paragraphs (f)(2) and (3) of this section 
need not be marked on the hose if it is recorded in the hose records of 
the vessel or facility, and the hose is marked to identify it with that 
information:
    (1) Maximum allowable working pressure;
    (2) Date of manufacture; and
    (3) Date of the latest test required by Sec. 156.170.
    (g) The hose burst pressure and the pressure used for the test 
required by Sec. 156.170 of this chapter must not be marked on the hose 
and must be recorded elsewhere at the facility as described in paragraph 
(f) of this section.
    (h) Each hose used to transfer fuel to a vessel that has a fill pipe 
for which containment can not practically be provided must be equipped 
with an automatic back pressure shutoff nozzle.
