What is the minimum number of bolts required in a permanently connected flange oil hose coupling?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is A) A bolt must be used in every hole.
The reason this is the correct answer is that the Coast Guard regulations require that all permanently connected flange oil hose couplings must have a bolt installed in every available hole. This ensures a secure and leak-free connection between the hose and the coupling. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not meet the regulatory requirement for a bolt in every hole.
