T
he waste water evacuation tank trailer is critical for servicing the containerized
latrines
in Force Provider base camps.
And critical for the operator are the safety
items called out in Table 2 of the Basic Issue
Items List in TM 10-4630-207-13&P. But the part
number listed for the respirator doesn’t cross to
an NSN. So now what?
Well, the respirator you need is an N95
respirator with an exhalation valve. It’s approved
by the National Institute for Occupational
Safety and Health (NIOSH). You can order the
model listed in the TM from Lab Safety Supply
using CAGE 6M644 and PN 48649. That’ll get a
box of 10 for about $24. Your supply folks can
use a government purchase card to order from
their website:
According to Force Provider, it’s OK to order
a substitute respirator that already has been
assigned NSN 4240-01-492-0177. It’s not in the
AMDF, so order it on a DD Form 1348-6, and put
“NSN not in AMDF” in the REMARKS block.
Force Provider…
I’ve got
everything I
need to clean
those foul
latrines!
the illustration in
the tm does
not
look anything like
the respirator
you’ll get.
here’s what
it should
look like…
make a note of this info
until the tm is updated.
hey,
don’t
forget to
wear this
respirator
mask!
thanks!
M1022 Dolly Set
Grease Seal
Use NSN 5330-01-082-7965 to get a
metal seal ring (grease seal) for the
M1022 dolly set’s front axle. This NSN
replaces the one shown as Item 18 in
Fig 12 of TM 9-2330-379-14&P.
M2 Video Link Change
On Page 22 in PS 662 (Jan 08), we gave you a link for a video on how to time and headspace
your M2 machine gun. That link has changed to:
HMMWV 6.5L Engine Oil Pan Sealant
Mechanics, use silicone sealant to make a gasket
around the oil pan on the HMMWV’s 6.5L detuned,
naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Use
NSN 6850-01-549-4631 to get a 75-gram tube of
sealant.
NSN 6850-01-549-4586 gets a 150-gram
cartridge container.
Small Arms Support Center Contact
CorreCtion
On Page 20 in PS 675 (Feb 09), we gave you the wrong contact information for the Balad and
Baghdad Small Arms Support Centers.
The correct information for Balad is DSN 312-987-5130
(ext. 6203) or email:
smallarmsbalad@mmcs.army.mil
The contact information for the Baghdad center is DSN 312-987-5130 (ext. 6805) or email:
smallarmsbaghdad@mmcs.army.mil
The Afghanistan Small Arms Support Center contact information is correct.
Bad HMMWV Cooling System Hose
Some basic, -A1, and -A2 (non-turbo) HMMWV cooling system hoses, NSN 4720-01-187-3386,
look normal, but are leaking and are very soft and mushy when touched. Make sure you don’t
have this problem by inspecting your HMMWV radiator’s bottom hose during your next PMCS.
Toss out a bad hose and replace it with a good one.
Bad hoses are labeled with CAGE 3B0Y2 and contract number SPM7MX-07-D-5007. You can
return new and unused ASL and PLL stock for credit. For more details, see TACOM MAM 09-024
