How to fill out backflow prevention assembly test

How to fill out a backflow prevention assembly test:

1. Start by gathering the necessary tools and equipment for the test, such as a test kit, pressure gauges, and a stopwatch.
2. Ensure that the backflow prevention assembly is isolated from the rest of the water system, as this will allow for an accurate test.
3. Begin by closing all inlet and outlet isolation valves on the assembly, and open the test cock or port.
4. Attach the pressure gauges to the appropriate test ports on the assembly, ensuring proper connections and tight seals.
5. Slowly open the inlet isolation valve, allowing the assembly to fill with water. Monitor the pressure gauges to ensure that the pressure is stable and within the acceptable range.
6. Once the pressure stabilizes, note the initial readings on the gauges and start the stopwatch to measure the time.
7. Carefully open the outlet isolation valve, allowing water to flow through the assembly. Monitor the pressure gauges to ensure that the pressure remains steady.
8. After a specific amount of time (usually specified by local regulations), close the outlet isolation valve to stop the flow of water.
9. Take note of the final readings on the pressure gauges and stop the stopwatch to measure the elapsed time.
10. Use the collected data to determine if the backflow prevention assembly meets the required standards or if any adjustments or repairs are necessary.
