Category: 100KW Beam Dump 
Type: Development 
Subject: Beam Dump Water Block RH Test & Installation 

Beam dump waterblocks #1 (BD Inlet) and #3 (Upper Pb Inlet) were removed as per the attached procedure on June 1-2.  The following was noted:

- The RH pole tool (TRH1244) and water tool wrench (TRH1243) fit easily over all four water block nuts and was easy to use

- The rubber nut thread tool was sometimes difficult to located in the hole on the water block (WB) lower half body, could be done after a few attempts, perhaps tool locating feature can be improved

- The rubber nut thread tool worked well, but a new one should be made as it is starting to degrade and drop pieces of rubber

- The WB upper halves must be lifted carefully with the pole tool supported well to prevent them from swinging in the east direction due to water hose stiffness

- The gasket/retainer assembly on the WB lower half is likely to become dislodged when removing the WB upper half.

- A tool must be developed for picking up the old gasket w/o damaging the WB lower half gland (could simply be a plastic hook attachement)

- A tool must be developed for placing a new gasket on the lower gland (concept in progress by Keith Ng)

- Installation of the upper water blocks (#3 and #4) may require assistance with a hook tool to get the upper WB in the correct orientation.  The lower water blocks (#1 and #2) should not
