Test of Check Valve No. 1
Purpose: To test valve No. 1 for tightness against reverse flow.
Requirement: Valve must be tight against reverse flow.
1. Bleed test cocks No. 2, 3 and 4 to remove any trapped air.
2. Install sight tube in test cock 3.
A. Open test cock 3 and allow water to fill the tube to the top.
Use a tube length of at least 42 inches. This will provide
a head of 1.5psi. Close test cock 3. When using EZ-TC
test cocks to perform this test, close No. 1 and 2 shutoffs,
install adaptor fitting in test cock 3 and install sight tube in
adaptor. Slightly open shutoff valve No. 1 and allow water
to fill the tube to the top then close No. 1 shutoff.
3. Close shutoff No. 2
4. Close shutoff No. 1
5. Open test cock 2.
Installing EZ-TC adaptor opens test cock 2.
6. Open test cock 3. EZ-TC on test cock 3 would already be
open. The water should maintain its position in the sight tube.
A. If it slowly drops and simultaneously runs out through test
cock 2, the check valve No. 1 is leaking and must be ser-
viced.
B. If it slowly drops and does not run out through Test Cock
No. 2, then No. 2 ball valve has a small leak, but No. 1
check valve is tight.
C. If it does not drop but there is a small leakage at test cock
No. 2, then No. 1 ball valve has a small leak, but No. 1
check valve is tight.
Test of Check Valve No. 2
Purpose: To test check valve No. 2 for tightness against reverse
flow.
Requirement: Valve must be tight against reverse flow.
1. Install sight tube in test cock 4 and fill with water as before.
When using EZ-TC, close No. 1 and 2 shutoffs and install sight
tube using adaptor fitting. Fill tube as in step 2 above.
2. Open test cock 3. Installing EZ-TC adaptor fitting opens test
cock 3.
3. Open test cock 4. EZ-TC on test cock 4 would already be
open. The water should maintain its position in the sight tube.
A. If it slowly drops and simultaneously runs out through test
cock No. 3, check valve No. 2 is leaking and must be
serviced.
B. If it slowly drops and does not run out through test cock
No. 3, then No. 2 ball valve has a small leak, but No. 2
check valve is tight.
C. If it does not drop, but there is slow leakage at test cock
No. 3, then No. 1 ball valve has a small leak, but No. 2
check valve is tight.
