INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOSE HYDROTEST PUMP
FOLLOW NFPA 1962 GUIDE LINES WHEN TESTING FIRE HOSES
THIS TESTER IS TO BE POWERED ONLY BY A PROPERLY INSTALLED AND TESTED
120V AC GFCI ELECTRICAL RECEPTICAL
1. Connect a garden hose to a clean water source and purge the line to remove air and dirt.
2. Test the GFCI receptacle before plugging the tester in.
DO NOT TURN THE MOTOR ON AT THIS POINT
3. Roll the hoses out in a straight line in front of the hose tester. This will help reduce the amount of
twisting when the hoses are filled with water. Make sure the hoses are on a flat surface with the ends
slightly elevated to remove any air trapped inside.
4. Open the water supply to the garden hose and inlet ball valves items # 6, # 46 and #10. Open the ball
valve located on the manifold, item # 36. Turn the pump motor on by placing the toggle switch item # 21
in the up position. Run for approx. 30 seconds to purge the tester of air and close item # 36.
5. Close ball valve item # 6. With the pump running, set the test pressure by turning the valve # 31 handle
clockwise to increase or counter clockwise to decrease pressure. Close ball valve item # 10 and turn the
motor off. Pressure on gauge # 12 must remain at test pressure for five minutes. Release the manifold
pressure by opening valve # 36.
6. Select the correct size test adaptor for the hose being tested. Install the test adaptor with the male quick
connect on the female end of the hose and connect to item # 9 on the tester manifold. Install the test
adaptor with the 1/4" ball valve on the male end of the hose. Turn the ball valve to the on position to
remove air trapped in the hose when filled with water.
7. Close valve item # 36 and open valve item # 6 and # 46 to quick fill the hoses. Go to the far end of the
hoses being tested and close the 1/4" ball valve when a steady stream of water is present. Allow the hoses
to expand from normal water pressure. Place a black mark on each end of the hose, just in back of the
coupling.
8. Close valve # 6 and turn the motor on until it reaches test pressure shown on the manifold gauge item
#12. Close ball valve # 10 and wait five minutes to ensure pressure remains constant. Close valve # 46,
open valve # 10 and relieve the pressure slowly with the bleeder vale # 36 or valves on the hose adaptors.
9. Check the black mark just behind the hose couplings. If the mark has moved away from the fitting; that
fitting must be replaced, and the hose must be retested before returning to service.
10. When all pressure has been relieved from the hoses, remove the test adaptors and drain the water from
the hoses.
