I've emailed an engineer at FM and will report what he says.
I know the client was requesting a change.
It was a HSC patterson with a woods #8A, 2 piece insert.
The FM guy suggested the type with the retaining ring.
I have to look into this because I'm not sure of the manufacturer, the only
other ones I know of are Murphy and Falk.
I'll do a laser alignment as well.

Hi Tom,
Do you have additional info regarding the "recall" from FM regarding the
TB
Woods couplings?
I did a Google search and yielded the following URL:

Scroll down to Fire Pump Couplings and Alignment.
Thanks, Jim.
A couple of things to share..
FM has issued a recall on woods couplings and are requesting they be
replaced.
I did a test the other day with FM and he noted the woods and told me he'd
send me the info.
I've also been told, but can't confirm there are new OSHA reg's on
entering
a motor contoller.
I was told, a couple of times, that there are new training courses and
apparell required.
I guess this means taking voltage and current readings.
Anyone know more about this?
Tom Duross
