The contractor shall have all shear valves plug or capped and connected to the piping. <br />2. It is best to complete the turbine connections before the Pretest. Locating and repairing fittings <br />within the tank sumps during the pretesting is more efficient and less confining than during the <br />final ELD testing. <br /> <br />Secondary Piping and Connection: <br />1. MDleak® does not require special fittings to be installed by the contractor. <br />2. The contractor should use standard California approved factory secondary termination fittings or <br />boots. Termination fittings in California require test ports. Test ports shall be accessible to the LDT <br />Technician. <br /> <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 /> <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 plugged. <br /> <br />Final ELD Test Procedure: <br /> <br /> <br />Preparation: <br />1.
