You already have a thread in this and your question was answered

 

[douglasbarrios]

Yes but they don't answer my question !! Clearly

 

[douglasbarrios]

If you know how yo do answer it

Have you explained your situation to your inspector and asked him what to do? He will let you know what he want better than any of us can.

 

[Chris]

Although if he thinks it is a possible thing he can make your life a living hell. They hate it if you are just trying to save a buck.

call your inspector, explain the situation to him. ask him what you should do

are you a plumber? all of this is spelled out in your code book

We are currently air testing our siphonic storm system for General Motors. It is PVC and water testing is not really a option since there is no reasonable way to remove the water once testing is complete.

I believe they are going 5lbs, but i am not sure as i am in the office doing the drawings.

 

[Chris]

We regularly air test our PVC sewer lines when we either can not water test or the district does not allow it. We test to 3 pounds here which is also enough to shoot a cap 30 feet in the air, ask me how I know.

 

[frodo]

ask for a vacancy to do a run test.

it all starts with a phone call to your inspector.
