per configuration


Explanation:
We had to do a little searching on this one... But the word "Requinte" seems to convey the meaning "Configuration" or... "Depending on configuration" in the text we found using the term.
The text we found was from a Kidde firefighting Foam delivery trainler with many different options; Including nozzle varieties, hose size and other fitting and supply "Configuration options"

The word in question is definitely referring to the "configuration Options" not just a single part of the system... as for example... the Nozzle.

BTW above is trailer (and not trainler)... sorry that was a typo.
