Procedure for roughing-in tests.
Gulfport Code of Ordinances § 3-79
in effectSec. 3-79. - Procedure for roughing-in tests.
All roughing-in tests must be made with water. For such testing the iron extension of the soil pipe outside of the house or building shall be securely closed, as shall all branches, inlets and other openings of the work to be tested. The closing of joints and pipes must be sufficiently tight and strong to withstand the pressure of a column of water reaching to the top of the pipe to be tested, with a minimum ten-foot head required. The pipe shall then be filled with water to its top and shall stand so without perceptible lowering. If the water is lowered by leakage, the leakage must be found and made tight by the plumber, and the work shall not be approved by the inspector until the water stands at the top without perceptible lowering.
