importance. Special consideration shall be taken when evaluating the pump module design of the
offered. Pump panels that offer little to no access without the use of tools shall not be considered
compliant with this requirement.

All pump controls and gauges shall be located at the left (street) side of the apparatus and properly
identified. The layout of the pump control panel shall be ergonomically efficient and systematically
organized. The pump operator's panel shall be removable in two (2) main sections for ease of
maintenance. The pump and gauge panels shall be constructed of 12-gauge stainless steel. The
gauge panel shall contain a panel for mounting of all instruments, engine monitoring system, and

side of the pump house. This gauge panel door shall provide an opening minimum size of 41 inches
wide by 14 inches in height.
The lower section of the panel shall contain all inlets, outlets, and drains. All push-pull valve controls
shall have quarter turn locking control rods with chrome plated zinc tee handles. Guides for the push-

valve controls shall be capable of locking in any position. The control rods shall pull straight out of the
panel and shall be equipped with universal joints to eliminate binding.
