Hint
Answer
Line 1
Check the hose gasket
Line 2
Connect hose sections into test lengths of no more than 300 feet, ensuring connections are tight
Line 3
Connect an open test gate valve to the discharge valve, ensuring connections are tight
Line 4
Connect the test length to the test gate valve, ensuring connections are tight
Line 5
Tie a rope, hose rope tool, or hose strap to the test length of hose 10 - 15" from the test gate valve connection. Secure the other end of the rope to the discharge pipe or nearby anchor
Line 6
Attach a shutoff nozzle to the end of the test length
Line 7
Fill the hose line with water to a pump pressure of 50 psi or to hydrant pressure
Line 8
Open the nozzle as the hose line is filling. Discharge the water away from the test area. Close the nozzle after all air has been purged from the test length
Line 9
Make a chalk or pencil mark on the hose jackets against each coupling
Line 10
Check that no couplings are leaking, Any length found to be leaking should be taken out of service and repaired before testing
Line 11
Retighten any couplings that are leaking at the connections. If the leak cannot be stopped, depressurize, disconnect the couplings, replace the gasket, and start over at step 6
Hint
Answer
Line 12
Close each hose test gate valve 1
Line 13
Increase the pump pressure to the test pressure required by NFPA 1962
Line 14
Close each hose test gate valve 2
Line 15
Monitor the connections for leakage as the pressure increases
Line 16
Maintain the test pressure for 3 minutes
Line 17
Inspect all couplings to check for leakage at the point of attachment
Line 18
Slowly reduce the pump pressure. Close discharge valve. Disengage the pump
Line 19
Open the nozzle slowly to bleed off pressure in the test length. Break all hose connections and drain water from the test length
Line 20
Observe marks placed on the hose at the couplings. If a coupling has moved during the test, tag the hose section for recoupling, tag all hose that has leaked or failed in any other way
Line 21
Record the test results according to local SOPs
