A. Installation of the lower High Pressure (HP) Duct
(1) If you use the APU to energize the electrical circuits, stop the APU:
(a) Make sure that the pressure and the temperature of the bleed-air duct system are in ambient conditions.
(4) Remove the protective covers from the hose, the union (20) and the boss fitting on the duct (15).
(5) Apply a layer of graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the bolts (30).
(6) Put the lower HP duct (15) on the engine. Put new AIPC 36-11-49-01-050 SEAL (25) or AIPC 36-11-49-01-050 SEAL (25) on the engine ports and loosely install the bolts (30).
(8) Attach the lower HP duct (15) to the HP tee duct with a AIPC 36-11-49-01-140 SEAL (5) and coupling (10). Do not torque the nut on the coupling at this time.
(9) Make sure that the lower HP duct (15) is in the correct position.
(10) TORQUE the bolts (30) to between 60 and 45 lbf.in (0.68 and 0.51 m.daN )
.
CP8001 lockwire 0.032 in. (0.8 mm) dia. .
(12) TORQUE the nut on the coupling as follows:
(a) TORQUE the coupling nut to the value shown on the coupling.
(b) Lightly hit the perimeter of the coupling with a HAMMER - FIBER, then torque the coupling nut again.
(c) Do the torque procedure two times, then torque the coupling nut again.
(13) Install the union (20) in the boss on the lower HP duct (15). TORQUE the union (20) to between 200 and 150 lbf.in (2.26 and 1.70 m.daN )
.

Subtask 36-11-49-480-052-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL (1) If you use the APU to energize the electrical circuits, stop the APU:
- For GTCP 36-300 APU (Ref. AMM D/O 49-00-00-86)
- For APS 3200 APU (Ref. AMM D/O 49-00-00-86)
- For 131-9(A) APU (Ref. AMM TASK 49-00-00-860-009).
(a) Make sure that the pressure and the temperature of the bleed-air duct system are in ambient conditions.
WARNING:
MAKE SURE THAT THE PNEUMATIC SYSTEM IS DEPRESSURIZED BEFORE YOU START WORK. PRESSURIZED AIR CAN CAUSE INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
WARNING:
DO NOT TOUCH THE UNIT UNTIL IT IS SUFFICIENTLY COOL TO PREVENT BURNS WHEN YOU DO THE MAINTENANCE TASK(S).
(3) Remove the blanking plugs from the lower HP duct (15), the engine ports and the HP tee duct. (4) Remove the protective covers from the hose, the union (20) and the boss fitting on the duct (15).
(5) Apply a layer of graphite grease (Material No.CP2101) to the bolts (30).
(6) Put the lower HP duct (15) on the engine. Put new AIPC 36-11-49-01-050 SEAL (25) or AIPC 36-11-49-01-050 SEAL (25) on the engine ports and loosely install the bolts (30).
CAUTION:
TWO TYPES OF COUPLINGS ARE USED ON THE BLEED AIR DUCTS. IT IS POSSIBLE TO INSTALL ONE OF THESE TYPES INCORRECTLY. WHEN YOU INSTALL THIS TYPE OF COUPLING, MAKE SURE THE SLIDE PART OF THE COUPLING (WITH THE SADDLE WASHER) ENGAGES THE RECESSES OF THE OTHER HALF OF THE COUPLING. IF THE COUPLING IS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY, IT CAN DISENGAGE AND CAUSE LARGE AIR LEAKS AND POSSIBLE DAMAGE.
CAUTION:
MAKE SURE THE SMOOTH CIRCULAR SURFACE OF THE COUPLING IS RADIALLY OUTBOARD FROM THE ENGINE. DO NOT LET THE COUPLING TOUCH ENGINE COMPONENTS OR STRUCTURE. DAMAGE TO THE COMPONENTS OR STRUCTURE COULD OCCUR.
(7) Tighten the bolts (30) sufficiently to hold the lower HP duct (15) in position. Do not torque the bolts at this time. (8) Attach the lower HP duct (15) to the HP tee duct with a AIPC 36-11-49-01-140 SEAL (5) and coupling (10). Do not torque the nut on the coupling at this time.
(9) Make sure that the lower HP duct (15) is in the correct position.
(10) TORQUE the bolts (30) to between 60 and 45 lbf.in (0.68 and 0.51 m.daN )
.WARNING:
USE PROTECTIVE GOGGLES AND GLOVES WHEN YOU REMOVE OR INSTALL LOCKWIRE. EACH TIME YOU CUT LOCKWIRE, REMOVE AND DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY. LOOSE LOCKWIRE CAN CUT YOU OR MAKE YOU BLIND, AND/OR CAN CAUSE DAMAGE.
(11) Safety the bolts with (12) TORQUE the nut on the coupling as follows:
(a) TORQUE the coupling nut to the value shown on the coupling.
(b) Lightly hit the perimeter of the coupling with a HAMMER - FIBER, then torque the coupling nut again.
(c) Do the torque procedure two times, then torque the coupling nut again.
(13) Install the union (20) in the boss on the lower HP duct (15). TORQUE the union (20) to between 200 and 150 lbf.in (2.26 and 1.70 m.daN )
. CAUTION:
USE A SECOND WRENCH TO HOLD THE FITTINGS WHEN YOU LOOSEN/TIGHTEN THE TUBE COUPLING NUTS. THIS PREVENTS DAMAGE TO THE TUBES.
(14) Connect the muscle pressure tube to union (20) on the lower HP duct (15). TORQUE the coupling nut on the muscle pressure tube to between 165 and 135 lbf.in (1.86 and 1.53 m.daN )
. B. Preparation for the Leak Test
(1) Find the location of a pneumatic joint air-leak with one of the two procedures that follow:
(a) Apply a Cleaner-Hydraulic Spillage Absorbent powder - (Material No.08CKB9) or dry cleaner (Material No.CP3010) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-51-00-230-001) around the pneumatic joints, only on the connections of the removed pneumatic components.
1 Wind the foil wrap around the joint one time.
2 Twist the seam of the foil wrap to make it tight.
3 Make the foil wrap as tight as possible on the tube but do not cause damage to the wrap.

Subtask 36-11-49-410-120-A ** ON A/C NOT FOR ALL (1) Find the location of a pneumatic joint air-leak with one of the two procedures that follow:
(a) Apply a Cleaner-Hydraulic Spillage Absorbent powder - (Material No.08CKB9) or dry cleaner (Material No.CP3010) (Ref. AMM TASK 70-51-00-230-001) around the pneumatic joints, only on the connections of the removed pneumatic components.
NOTE: Airbus recommends that you do not apply the dry developer on all the pneumatic components.
(b) Install an FOIL - ALUMINUM around the pneumatic joint locations:1 Wind the foil wrap around the joint one time.
2 Twist the seam of the foil wrap to make it tight.
3 Make the foil wrap as tight as possible on the tube but do not cause damage to the wrap.
