Step 3: Open valve C, then open A to bleed air from the high side.
Close valve A, then open B to bleed low side. Close valve B.
Step 4: Connect vent hose loosely to test cock# 1. Open valve A to
vent air from vent hose, Tighten vent hose at test cock #1,
open test cock #1.
Step 5: Close shutoff #1. Slowly loosen hose at test cock #2 until
differential gauge rises to 2psi and retighten hose.
If the differential reading does not decrease, record check
valves as “tight”.
Test Check Valve No. 2
Step 1: Move the high side hose to test cock #4, low side to test
cock #3 and open both test cock #3 and test cock #4.

above, if shutoff #2 leaks excessively. To test for a leaky #2 shutoff,
use the following procedure.
Test for Leaky No. 2 shutoff
Step 1: Connect the high side to test cock #1, low side to test cock
#4. Open test cock #1 and test cock #4. Close shutoffs #1
and #2.
Step 2: Close valve C. Open valve A, then open valve B
1 /
2
