Answer Stats

Hint	Answer	% Correct
Line 1	Check the hose gasket	100%
Line 6	Attach a shutoff nozzle to the end of the test length	0%
Line 10	Check that no couplings are leaking, Any length found to be leaking should be taken out of service and repaired before testing	0%
Line 12	Close each hose test gate valve 1	0%
Line 14	Close each hose test gate valve 2	0%
Line 3	Connect an open test gate valve to the discharge valve, ensuring connections are tight	0%
Line 2	Connect hose sections into test lengths of no more than 300 feet, ensuring connections are tight	0%
Line 4	Connect the test length to the test gate valve, ensuring connections are tight	0%
Line 7	Fill the hose line with water to a pump pressure of 50 psi or to hydrant pressure	0%
Line 13	Increase the pump pressure to the test pressure required by NFPA 1962	0%
Line 17	Inspect all couplings to check for leakage at the point of attachment	0%
Line 16	Maintain the test pressure for 3 minutes	0%
Line 9	Make a chalk or pencil mark on the hose jackets against each coupling	0%
Line 15	Monitor the connections for leakage as the pressure increases	0%
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	0%
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	0%
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	0%
Line 21	Record the test results according to local SOPs	0%
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	0%
Line 18	Slowly reduce the pump pressure. Close discharge valve. Disengage the pump	0%
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	0%
