PRE-INSTALLATION TESTING Section 4 Copyright • April 2016 © • Containment Solutions, Inc. •

Testing All Fiberglass Tanks Copyright • April 2016 © • Containment Solutions, Inc. •

Prepare For Testing (Section 4. 3 Paraphrased) • Connect a “Tank Test Manifold” to a primary fitting (see Figure 4 -1). • Use pressure gauge of 15 psig or less (max ¼ psig increments). • Use pressure relief device to ensure tank pressure does not exceed 5 psig (3 psig for 12’ tanks). Tank Test Manifold (Contractor Supplied) Copyright • April 2016 © • Containment Solutions, Inc. • All Rights Reserved

Prepare For Testing (Section 4. 6 Paraphrased) • Soap entire tank and inspect for air bubbles. • Soap all fittings and manways. • Contact CSI Field Service immediately in the unlikely event a leak is discovered. Copyright • April 2016 © • Containment Solutions, Inc. • All Rights Reserved

SINGLE-WALL FLOWTITE® WATER TANK TESTING PROCEDURES Section 5. 1 Copyright • April 2016 ©

Testing Single-Wall Tanks (Section 5. 1 Paraphrased) • • • Pressurize tank to 5 psig maximum (3 psig for 12’ tanks) (see Figure 5 -1). Close the air supply valve to the primary tank. Disconnect the air supply. Monitor the pressure readings for 30 minutes for any loss in pressure from the initial reading which may indicate a leak. While under pressure, cover tank outer surface including fittings and manways, with soap solution and inspect. Copyright • April 2016 © • Containment Solutions, Inc. • All Rights Reserved

FOR TANKS THAT CANNOT BE AIR TESTED (MAY APPLY FOR CERTAIN NON-UL TANKS) Section

Non-Air Testable Tanks (Section 5. 7 Paraphrased) • • Tanks may only be water tested if the backfill is at tank top (see Figure 5 -11). Expose tank penetrations on 0 by temporarily removing backfill. So water does not exit the inlet/outlet pipe, install a turned up elbow or plug. Fill tank water 2” to ainto level the 2” access Completely fill the tank with water to awith level into the access collar(s). Wait at least 30 minutes, if the water level in the collar does not drop more than ¼”, the tank is considered acceptable and leak free. If the level drops more than the ¼”, ensure that inlet and outlet pipe caps or plugs and collars are not leaking, then refill the tank and retest. After the tank is proven to be watertight, remove the water in Copyright • April 2016 © • Containment Solutions, Inc. • All Rights Reserved
