Check open and closed position of all valves.

For line size up to 14. But it will be vary depends on the fluid project and client. Check for proper installation of vents and drains. An in line sewer video camera is used in the process to assist with the placement of test balls throughout the system and to map out the layout of the sanitary sewer system.
Vents and drains shall be closed with a blind flange or a threaded cap plug as provided in the relevant piping class. Normally size of test vents and drains shall be. Verify chloride content of test water when testing stainless steels. Pnf0309 v d 09 hydrostatic test vents and drains welded piping nps 2 and up with weldolet and flanges.
Pnf0307 v d 07 hydrostatic test vents and drains welded piping nps 2 and up with pipets and lap joint flanges. Inflatable test balls are inserted into the system through existing cleanouts roof vents and exposed toilet drains to perform a hydrostatic test on an isolated portion of the sewer system. Purpose of hydro high point vents is to expel air during hydro test.
