In the followinq tests. All the pipinq of the plumbinq system shall bn
tested with either wa~er or air. After the plumbinq fixtures have been
set and their traps filled with water, the entire drainaqe system shall
be submitted to final tests. The Buildinq Official may require tho
removal of any cleanouts, to ascertain if the pressure has reached ali
Darts of the system.
417.2 - DRAINAGE AND VENT TESTS
4-17.2.1 A water test shall be applied to the drainaqe system either
in its entirety or in sections. If applied to the entire system, all
openinqs in the piping shall be tiqhtly closed, except the hiqhest
openinq and the system filled with water to point of overflow. If the
system is tested iD sections, each openinq shall be tiqhtly plugqed
except the hiqhest openinqs of the section under test, and each section
shall be filled with water, but no section shall be tested with less
than 5 ft head o~f water. In testinq successive sections at least tho
upper 10 ft of the next precedinq section shall be tested, so that no
joint or pipe in the buildinq~ shall have been submitted to a test of
less than a 5 ft head of water. The water shall be kept in the
~ystem, or in thie portion under test, for at least 15 minutes beforo
inspection starts; the system shall then be tiqht at'all points.
417.2.2 An air test shall be made by attachinq an air compressor o~
testinq apparatus to any ~suitable openinq and after Closinq all other

column of mercury ten inches in heiqht. This pressure shall be held
without introduction of additional air for a period of at least 15
minutes.
417.2.3 The final test of the completed drainaqe and vent syste~
shall be visual and in sufficient detail to assure that the provision:.

~ystem~ a punqent, thick smoke produced by one or more smoke machines.
When the smoke appears at stack openinqs on the roof, they shall be
bcapca.881 3 REV. 6/21/89
closed and a pressure equivalent to a 1-in water column shall b~
maintained for 15 minutes before inspection starts. Where th~
peppermint test is preferred, 2 oz of oil of peppermint shall b~
introduced for each stack.
417.3 - TEST OF WATER SUPPLY SYTSTEM - Upon completion of a section or
of the entire water supply system, it shall be tested and proved tight

under which it is to be operated. The water used for tests shall b~
~obtained from a potable source of supply.
