T-connection with stop cock/gate valve and pressure gauge.
2. Ensure pressure gauge have valid calibration certificate.

3. Fill water in the system through the stop cock/gate valve on the T-connection. Release
the Air from another end valve. Once Air fully releases close the valve.
4. Pump water in the system through the stop cock/gate valve on the T-connection by
means of manually operated test pump until a pressure of 175 ±3% psi is registered on
the dial pressure gauge and close the valve. Duration of pressure test 24 hours
Maximum.
5. Observe for any leakage by sight or by checking if there is any loss of pressure on the
pressure gage placed at the lowest point.

pointed away from vegetated areas including CCNR, Eco-Link, Track 15 Stream
and TPZ.
14. Restrict outdoor movements by workers to use of designated sanitary facilities (or
in the case of an emergency, evacuation from buildings), workers will remain
indoors from 6 pm to 10pm. When workers step outside of buildings,
flashlights/headlamps for walking to and from sanitary facilities for safety purposes
will be kept pointed towards the ground and away from the CCNR and other
vegetated areas.
10. SAFETY AND HEALTH
