1' e An air valve stem is installed in the boot for an outlet opening for connecting the crossover and/or test tubes. These tubes are used.for the testing of and the interconnection/communication of the interstitial space from pipe section to pipe section. Crossover tube assemblies are used for junctions within dispensers sumps, pipe to pipe in line connections, piping run termination points, tank sump connection points and any piping manifold connection points. Test/Crossover Boots and tubes are fitted and hand tightened in place after the piping termination's and their connections have been made. After installation and tightening of all test/crossover boots and tubes, pressure testing may be done. Do not over tighten. Crossover tubes may be removed to isolate each piping run if required. PRESSURE TESTING PREWARY AND SECONDARY Suggested typical primary piping testing is done at 50 psi for a minimum of one(1) hour. Suggested typical secondary jacket or interstitial space testing is done at 5 psi for Co-Flex or 50 psi for Co-Flex 2000 for a minimum of one(1) hour. These tests may be performed after installation is complete, but before backfill. Local regulations and requirements may vary. Note; Care needs to be taken when pressurizing the secondary, add pressure slowly and do not exceed 5 psi for Co-Flex or 75 psi for Co-Flex 2000 during pressurization process. For Co-Flex, 0-5 psi range, we recommend a small hand, bicycle type, pump to pressurize the secondary. Always use safe procedures when pressure testing piping systems. Western Fiberglass, Inc. assumes no liability or responsibility for testing procedures. ENITIAL PIPE SYSTEM FILLING: Upon completion of connection and testing of your Co-Flex system, initially filling of the system may begin. Be careful to provide a venting point or place which will allow any air within the piping to escape during this initial filling. Do not operate any pumping devices until all air has been purged from piping system. Small bubbles trapped within the system will be purged under normal operating conditions.
