• Connect gauge assembly to bleed point on blank standpipe

• Release metered standpipe tap until required flow rate is achieved and record pressure results at blank standpipe

Disassemble Steps

• Turn off at standpipes, remove gauge assembly and release standpipes from hydrant

• Replace hydrant lids, remove barricading and return all items to test unit

Final Demobilisation

• Notify client of result and to contact TestX office to arrange further testing or reports
