The piping shall withstand an air pressure equal to not less than the pressure of a column of mercury ten (10 ") inches in height, and the piping shall hold this air pressure for a period of at least ten (10) minutes without any perceptible drop. A mercury column gauge shall be used for this test. 107.5 - TEST OF DRAINAGE AND VENT SYSTEMS All the piping of the plumbing system shall be tested with water or air. After the plumbing fixtures have been set and their traps filled with water, the entire drainage system shall be submitted to final tests. The Building Official may require the removal of any cleanouts, to ascertain if the pressure has reached all parts of the system. (a) Water Test: The water test shall be applied to the drainage system either in its entirety or in sections. If applied to.the entire system, all openings in the piping shall be tightly closed, except the highest opening, and the system filled with water to point of overflow. If the system is tested in sections, each opening shall be tightly plugged except the highest openings of the section under test, and each section shall be filled with water, but no section shall be tested with less than a 10 -foot head of water. In testing successive sections at least the upper ten (10') feet of the next preceding section shall be tested, so that no joint or pipe in the building (except the uppermost ten feet of the system) shall have been submitted to a test of less than a 10 -foot head of water. The water shall be kept.in the system, or in the portion under test, for at least fifteen (15) minutes before inspection starts; the system shall then be tight at all points. (b) Air Test: The air test shall be made by attaching an air compressor or testing apparatus to any suitable opening and after closing all other inlets and outlets to the system, forcing air into the system until there is a -12- RR:jkh:6- 25 -74; 1st uniform gauge pressure of five (5) pounds per square inch or sufficient to balance a column of mercury ten (10 ") inches in height.

Where the smoke test is preferred by the permittee, it shall be made by filling all traps with water and then introducing into the entire system a pungent, thick smoke produced by one or more smoke machines. When the smoke appears at stack openings on the roof they shall be closed and a pressure equivalent to a one -inch water column shall be built and maintained for fifteen (15) minutes before inspection starts. Where the peppermint test is preferred, two (2) ounces of oil of peppermint shall be introduced for each line or stack. 107.6 - TEST OF WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM Upon completion of a section or of the entire water - supply system, it shall be tested and proved tight under water pressure.
