Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

This AD requires operators of early Boeing 737 models (specified line numbers) to modify the potable‑water pressurisation system or remove the existing potable‑water pressure relief valve and install a replacement valve P/N RV05‑362. It prohibits reinstalling the old valve P/N 520A6DB50 and omits the leak test called for in the earlier Boeing service bulletin. Affected operators and maintenance organisations must follow the Boeing Service Bulletins referenced to correct the unsafe condition in the potable water system.
