1. Hose Test Equipment

2. Attach inline pressure gauge at pump
panel
A section of 2 1/2 will need to be used between the pressure gauge and
the hose being tested

3. Attach the gated valve between 2 1/2
section and hose to be tested
The gated valve should be open at this time

4. Use necessary adaptors to attach a nozzle at the
end of hose you are testing to allow you to bleed
the air out of the system

5. Charge the line, idle pressure is
adequate at this point

6. Use a marker to mark all hoses at
couplings
This will give you a visual if a coupling is loose on the
hose

7. Bleed the line until all air is
removed

8. Once the line is bled, close the gated
valve

9. Pressurize the line for three
minutes

10. Pressurize at 200 lbs for 4” & 5”
300 lbs for hose 2 1/2 “ or
smaller
