FOOTNOTES <br />(1). See manufacturer's instal on instructions. <br />(2) Connections must be removed and replaced. <br />(3) It is recommended that after the initial system test has been completed, a low pressure (25psig maximum) be <br />kept on tested pipe during the completion of the installation. If pressure loss occurs then repairs can be accom- <br />plished before system goes into service. <br />CAUTION: TESTING WITH COMPRESSED AIR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED. IF <br />QCOMPRESSED AIR IS USED, PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION AND FOLLOW SAFETY PRECAUTIONS STATED <br />IN THE MANUFACTURERS INSTRUCTIONS. ISOLATE PIPING SYSTEM FROM TANK PRIOR TO TESTING. <br />IMPORTANT NOTICE <br />I This checklist, published by the Fiberglass Petroleum Tank and Pipe Institute ("Institute") addresses subjects <br />of a general nature associated with the installation of fiberglass -reinforced plastic piping as part of underground <br />storage tank (UST) systems.
