1. Inspect hose, couplings and gasket. 2. Use a marker to a place line around edge of male and female couplings where it meets the hose to test for coupling slippage. 3. Position and inspect hose tester prior to plugging it in. 4. Connect water source to pump inlet. 5. Connect hoses to be tested with a maximum of 300 feet of hose per connection. • Hose being connected to hose tester must be of the same service test pressure. • 4’’and 5’’ inch supply hose will be tested from the bottom 2 outlets only. • The hose must be lying flat on a horizontal surface in a straight line. 6. Connect cap with bleeder valve to the end of each hose with bleeder valve slightly open to allow air and water to escape. 7. Open 1 ½” inlet valve and 2 ½’’ outlet valves to fill all test hose. 8. Close bleeder valves on end of each hose once air has been bled off from hose line. 9. Open ½” valve slightly to bleed excess air from manifold. Close once air has been bled off. 10. Close 2 ½’’ outlet valves to test hoses once water pressure has stabilized on hose tester pressure gauge. (The hose must be stabilized for 1 minute per 100’ length of hose, per outlet before testing can begin.) 11. Close 1 ½” inlet valve and turn on pump to direct the water through to pressure side of pump. 12. Open each 2 ½’’ hose outlet valve one at a time and allow the hose tester to build to the required pressure. 300 psi for attack lines or as marked on hose - 200 psi on supply lines or as marked on hose. 13. Close each of the 2 ½’’ valves to the hoses and turn off the pump when test pressure is reached. Allow hose to stabilize for 1 minute per 100 feet of hose before testing. 14. Test for 3 minutes. Inspect the hose from a distance of 15 feet for leaks or issues with the hose. 15. After the test has been completed turn the water supply off open the bleeder valve at the end of the hose to drain the line. Once the pressure is off the hose line, disconnect the hose line from the hose tester. 16. Once the hose has been drained, check the coupling for slippage and log the information on the Hose Testing Data Sheet. Place an FDM label on the female coupling if not already present.
