Frequently asked questions about Hydrostatic Test Cert

What pressure is a water distribution system tested at?
Per IPC Section 312.5, the system is tested and proved tight at not less than its working pressure using water, or, for non-plastic piping only, at not less than 50 PSI using air. The test pressure must hold for at least 15 minutes.
Can I use tap water for the hydrostatic test?
The IPC requires that water used for the test come from a potable source of supply — not, for example, an unapproved temporary source at a construction site.
