Unhook pump- Ensure that the hydro pump is unhooked from the system. ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> 4. Street Pressure-The system pressure is at or above street pressure? ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> 5. Closed Valves-Verify that there are not any closed valves between the gauge the ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> system being tested. <br /> 6. Plugs- Hydrostatically testing will be done with plugs installed in the fittings (Not ❑ ❑ ❑ <br /> Sprinklers). <br /> 7.
