If storage is carried out in saline conditions, e.g. on a ship’s deck or hold, then full dummy
connectors should be used.
The junction box must be secured in a dedictaed transit box and always remain in a horizontal
position to prevent risk of damage to the diaphragms.
If storage is carried out in saline conditions, e.g. on a ship’s deck or hold, then full dummy
connectors should be used.
The following bend radii are recommended for storage/transport of hoses.
AquaTRON 50, TC6A-700 – Minimum inside bend radii - 125mm
AquaTRON 75, TC6A-712 – Minimum inside bend radii - 180mm
Connectors are designed & qualified to withstand vibration that occurs during transportation and
to withstand being dropped from a height of 1m whilst in packaging.
Any connector-specific handling and transport advice is contained within the appropriate section
further on in this document.
Ensure that mechanical handling aids are used whenever possible to avoid manual handling.

UNPACKING
Remove wrapping material taking care to inspect for any surface damage or items that may have
become separated from the unit. Do not use a knife to cut the wrapping material, as this may
cause damage to any elastomeric parts of the connector. Do not remove protection caps until
connectors are ready for installation. On removal do not allow the hoses to drag over the edges
of the packing crate.
Connectors/Equipment supplied in boxes must be stored in the box.

STORAGE
7.1 Short Term Connector Storage
Prior to installation the connectors are sensitive to environments where grit and dirt are present.
To prevent ingress of the above, they should be stored in a clean dry area and be protected by
their protective wrapping material or similar. Protection caps must be fitted if supplied.
No carbon steel must be present in the storage of the products.
Please note; maximum storage temperature takes into account solar gain. Skin temperature must
not exceed 70°C. Suitable protection must be used to ensure maximum storage temperature is
not exceeded.
7.2 Long Term Connector Storage
The connectors must be stored in a clean dry area and be protected by bubble wrap or similar.
Suitable protection caps must be fitted and the storage temperature should be between -40°C
and 70°C. Humidity of the store room should be below 75%. Very moist or very dry conditions
should be avoided. The Plug connector should be protected from strong sunlight and strong
artificial light with a high ultra violet content. The connectors should not be allowed to come into
contact with solvents, oil, greases or any other semi-solid materials. If glanded connectors are to
be stored bolted into their interfaces ensure the cable entry point into the gland is covered to
prevent water ingress.
