EI 1584 Third Edition

EI 1584 Third Edition was published in 2001 and included


the requirement that in the event of an impact, hydrant pit
couplers would break away cleanly from the pit valve with
no pressurised release of fuel.
This significantly reduces the risk of a pressurised fuel
geyser like the one captured on CCTV in Auckland in 1995
EI 1584 Third Edition introduced the requirement for wear
gauges for hydrant pit valves and couplers. Monitoring of
wear by users allows for the replacement of components
before the possibility of a pit coupler / valve containment
failure during an aircraft refuelling.

Manufacturers shall either provide, for their own hydrant


coupler and hydrant pit valve, a simple wear gauge.

EI 1584 Fourth Edition, published in May 2017


Manufacturers shall either provide, for their own hydrant
coupler and hydrant pit valve, a simple wear gauge.

The wear gauge shall be suitable for wear measurement


on operationally-critical faces. The pit valve wear gauge
shall be able to assess whether the pit valve is suitable for
continued use with any EI 1584 Fourth Edition pit coupler.

Maximum acceptable wear limits for API adaptor rings.


This will allow the use of a universal gauge at locations
that use more than one brand of hydrant pit valve.

JIG 2 and ATA 103 require that every in-service hydrant pit
valve is checked annually with a suitable wear gauge to
ensure that it remains within tolerance and is safe to use.

The results of these tests need to be recorded.
