							 of such a character as to be automatically applied upon breakaway from the
							 towing vehicle and shall be designed to stop and hold such vehicles for 15
							 minutes. In any tank semi-trailer the brakes shall be of such design that the
							 brakes on the trailer may be applied almost simultaneously or prior to the
							 brakes on the tractor.
(b)
Piping, hose and nozzle.
The cargo shall be discharged through a system of
							 rigid piping joined together by welding, screwed fittings, or vitaulic,
							 gruv-a-grip flanged connections with O-ring or equal gaskets or equal
							 couplings, and if necessary or desirable flexible hose connections. Flexible
							 hose connections, if used, shall be of armored or protected type gasoline hose
							 fitted with standard screwed or flanged pattern fittings affixed to the hose by
							 standard internal expanding rings or machine pressed collars. Cargo lines
							 between the tank and the pump suction shall be tested with the cargo tank as
							 indicated in subparagraph (g)(1)(vi) of this section and subdivision
							 1262.70(h), and
							 cargo lines from the pump through the discharge hose shall be hydrostatically
							 tested when so required by the Port Authority to a pressure 50 pounds above the
							 normal work pressure and so certified to the Port Authority in writing. The
							 delivery of product shall at all times be under the control of the vehicle
							 attendant through the use of approved self-closing nozzles or approved
							 underwing fueling control devices operated by the attendant designed to shut
							 off automatically upon release of hand or foot pressure-latching or fastening
							 devices on control units are not permitted. No delivery hose or hoses shall be
							 used except:
(1) Standard hose
						  designed to handle gasoline or similar aircraft fuel at the highest pump
						  operating pressures with allowances for surge conditions.
(2) Standard make hose and fittings used in
						  connection with overwing or underwing fueling; provided that such hose shall be
						  fitted with bronze hose fittings affixed by standard internal expanded rings or
						  machine pressed collars, and self-closing nozzles with a static bonding wire
						  and clip or jack securely fastened to insure a good bond. Evidence of approval
						  of such hose, fittings and nozzle by a laboratory or testing establishment
						  designated by the Port Authority shall be submitted when required.

							 valve under dead-man control shall be of steel, malleable iron, heavy cast
							 iron, bronze or other composition metal having a melting point in excess of
