LEAK DE L TION <br />�:-(I I SLLC <br />ssi.l'ia N <br />S: 2-007 <br />Exclusive Providers for MDleak® and PHDleak® Technologies <br />1400 East Paseo Pavon • Tucson, AZ 85718 Phone 855-255-5325 ® F -AX- 520.990.8965 <br />Sales@LeakDetect.net vrv\v.LeakDetectnet <br />Systems: <br />1. LDT has no restrictions to the MDleak® Method. <br />2. LDT has several chemical markers so site contamination by a single chemical marker is not a <br />consideration or limitation. <br />3. It is best for the contactor to find the majority of the leaks using whatever method they can. <br />Small leaks are best left to LDT crews to pinpoint and repaired then for the contractor to <br />spend hours looking for these little leaks. <br />4. Fast identification and leak location substantially reduces repair cost. <br />General: <br />1. Extraction plugs should be installed and sealed properly <br />2. A construction crew shall be onsite during the test period. This crew should be equipped to <br />repair any portion of the system. <br />3. The MDleak® method can test piping containing liquids. However if a liquid is present <br />additional time and cost will be incurred. <br />Product Piping: <br />1. The contractor shall have all shear valves plug or capped using steel not plastic fittings and <br />connected to the piping. <br />2. It is best to complete the turbine connections before the Pretest. Locating and repairing <br />fittings within the tank sumps during the pretesting is more efficient and less confining than <br />during the final ELD testing. <br />Secondary Piping and Connection: <br />1. MDleaksM does not require special fittings to be installed by the contractor. <br />2. The contractor should use standard California approved factory secondary termination fittings <br />or boots. Termination fittings in California require test ports. Test ports shall be accessible to <br />the LDT Technician. <br />Vent Piping: <br />1. Extraction plugs should be installed and sealed properly <br />2. Vent risers should be caped and should include test ports on each vent riser <br />VR Piping: <br />1. Extraction plugs should be installed and sealed properly <br />2. VR piping at the UDC should also be caped or plug using steel not plastic fittings. <br />Author David Rabb 2of 2 <br />
