   Any one of the following means of providing approved fire protection equipment may be considered a minimum requirement for the use of marine oil terminal docks or wharfs:
 
   1.   Hose cabinets or houses shall be provided at each required Class II standpipe outlet location. Each hose cabinet or house shall be provided with not more than 350 feet of 1 1/2 inch or 2 1/2 inch hose equipped with a nozzle tip with a minimum bore of 5/8 inch or 1 inch. Except as provided in Section 57.5706.4.10.6, the hose shall be coupled in a continuous line and shall be attached to the outlets at all times for immediate use. Each hose cabinet or house shall be equipped with a hose and a combination hydrant spanner.

   EXCEPTION: Where Class II standpipe outlets are so spaced, it will only be necessary to provide hose on reels as to permit two hose streams to be brought together at any point on the wharf and operated simultaneously. Approved hose reels shall be stored in a location approved by the Chief, when such equipment is not in use during operations. Each hose reel shall be equipped with a suitable hose and combination hydrant spanner attached to the female end of hose.

The hose shall be flaked out on the wharf with nozzle tip attached. Each hydrant so equipped shall be provided with a suitable spanner in place on the hydrant stem.
