Water Filled Closure-X Part #Closure-X60 Part #Closure-X30 *Optional Storage Bag* (holds one complete runway X or two Taxiway X assemblies) CERTIFICATION FAA AC 150/5340-1H FAA AC 150/5370-2E The Closure-X is made of durable vinyl coated fabric and provides airports with a reliable and economical method for closing runways and taxiways to aircraft use.  The solid yellow color provides superior visibility for a clear indication of closures. FEATURES * Convenient anchoring is accomplished by filling a 3 inch "Fire Hose" bladder that runs the entire perimeter of the vinyl sheet. * Water bladder is resistant to wind and is more "forgiving" than sandbags or stakes in the event of an aircraft strike. * Material is mildew and U.V. resistant as well as double seamed for durability. * Easy removal is allowed by opening a drain at the low point of the bladder.  Approximately 50 gallons of water is required per one half of the Runway Closure-X60 and approximately 25 gallons for one half of the Taxiway Closure-X30 INSTALLATION * Each leg of the "X" is unrolled and located over the runway numbers or other chosen location. * Water is pumped or gravity flowed into the 3/4" hose fitting in the 3" diameter bladder.  A vent is opened on the other end of the bladder and a short extension hose is attached and elevated to ensure complete filling of the bladder.
