seal. Visually inspect lap seal for "fishmouthing," and use PVDC tape along lap
seal to secure joint.
5. Repair holes or tears in PVDC jacket by placing PVDC tape over the hole or tear
and wrapping a minimum of 1 -1/4 circumferences to avoid damage to tape

1. Do not enclose, cover, or put piping into operation until it has been inspected and
approved by authorities having jurisdiction.
2. During installation, notify authorities having jurisdiction at least 24 hours before
inspection must be made. Perform tests specified below in presence of
authorities having jurisdiction:
a. Roughing -in Inspection: Arrange for inspection of piping before concealing
or closing -in after roughing -in and before setting fixtures.
b. Final Inspection: Arrange final inspection for authorities having jurisdiction
to observe tests specified below and to ensure compliance with
requirements.
3. Reinspection: If authorities having jurisdiction find that piping will not pass test or
inspection, make required corrections and arrange for reinspection.
4. Reports: Prepare inspection reports and have them signed by authorities having
jurisdiction.
B. Test domestic water piping as follows:
1. Fill domestic water piping. Check components to determine that they are not air
bound and that piping is full of water.
2. Test for leaks and defects in new piping and parts of existing piping that have
been altered, extended, or repaired. If testing is performed in segments, submit
separate report for each test, complete with diagram of portion of piping tested.
3. Leave new, altered, extended, or replaced domestic water piping uncovered and
unconcealed until it has been tested and approved. Expose work that was
covered or concealed before it was tested.
4. Cap and subject piping to static water pressure of 50 psig above operating
pressure, without exceeding pressure rating of piping system materials. Isolate
test source and allow to stand for four hours. Leaks and loss in test pressure
constitute defects that must be repaired.
5. Repair leaks and defects with new materials and retest piping or portion thereof
until satisfactory results are obtained.
6. Prepare reports for tests and required corrective action.
