INSTRUCTIONS FOR TEST PROCEDURES

Seal off all outlets of the Pipe System to be tested with Drain Test Plugs. Ensure the inside surface of the pipe is clean and smooth.

Remove the Blanking Cap from one of the Plugs and replace it with the Nipple Cap.

Divide the Air Test Tubing into three lengths

Fill the 'U' Air Gauge (Manometer) with water via filler bottle provided and equalise the level so that it reads zero on both sides of the clear U tubing.

Connect the Air Test Tubing via the 'Y' Piece to the Hand Bellows, the Drain Test Plugs and the 'U' Air Gauge as photo above.

Pump the Hand Bellows until a pressure reading 4" (100mm) of water is indicated on the 'U' Gauge, allow about 5 minutes for stabilization of air temperature. Adjust the pressure back to 4" (100mm).

Without further pumping, the head of water should not fall by more than 25mm in a period of 5 minutes.
