How to Bind Hot Gas Lines & Liquid Lines

Pipeline construction and maintenance in crucial to energy production. Maintenance can reduce pressure and corrosion. In fact, the annual cost of pipeline corrosion is between $5 and $8 billion annually. One strategy to maintain pipelines is to co-build the pipelines in the same location. For this reason, it is important to bind hot gas lines and liquid lines together.

Things You'll Need

coupling
steel wire
crescent wrench
clippers

Instructions

- 1
  Find the petcock on the fuel pump of the gas line or liquid line. Place a coupling on the end of the fuel nozzle of the pipe lines. Carefully twist the nozzle onto the fuel lines.
- 2
  Twist the gas and liquid lines together with the crescent wrench. Tighten them with steel wire, wrapping around the cylinders.
- 3
  Snap the end of the liquid and gas line with clippers to eliminate slack in the lines. Place another coupling onto the lines and screw them shut.
- 4
  Complete tightening the coupling for binding.
