For inquires or to report unauthorized use, contact licensing@nfpa.org. 4.8.4.11 If the hose is repaired, or the couplings are repaired or replaced, the hose shall be service tested in accordance with Section 4.8 before being placed back in service. 4.8.4.12 After testing, all hose shall be thoroughly cleaned, drained, and dried as specified in Section 4.6 before being placed in service or in storage. 4.8.5 Service Test Using a Hose Testing Machine. The procedure defined in this subsection shall be used when hose is service tested using a hose testing machine. WARNING: Because there is a potential for catastrophic failure during the service testing of fire hose, it is vital that safety precautions be taken to prevent exposure of anyone to this danger. Do not deviate from the procedures prescribed herein. 4.8.5.1 Hose Testing Machine Integrity. The condition of the hose testing machine shall be thoroughly checked daily before each testing session and before the machine is used after being transported to a new testing site. 4.8.5.1.1 The hose testing machine shall be carefully examined for damaged components that might fail during the test. 4.8.5.1.2 If any damage is discovered, the hose testing machine shall not be used until the damaged component(s) is repaired or replaced. 4.8.5.1.3 A pressure leak integrity test shall be performed on the machine to determine whether the pressurized outlet side of the machine and its related components are leak-free. 4.8.5.1.3.1 The fire hose outlet connection(s) of the machine shall be capped or otherwise closed. 4.8.5.1.3.2 Pressure shall be applied through the machine using the integral pump to a level that is 10 percent higher than the highest service test pressure needed for the hose to be tested. 4.8.5.1.3.3 The pressure shall be held for 3 minutes with the pump turned off. 4.8.5.1.3.4 If leaks are detected, the testing machine shall not be used until the leaking component (s) is repaired or replaced. 4.8.5.1.4 The test gauge that is used to read the test pressure shall have been calibrated within the previous 12 months. http://codesonline.nfpa.org/components/com book navigation/printer frie... 10/29/2013 Page 4 of 8 Copyright by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). NFPA 1962 is licensed, by agreement for individual use. No other reproduction or transmission in any form permitted without written permission of NFPA. For inquires or to report unauthorized use, contact licensing@nfpa.org. 4.8.5.1.5 If the hose machine incorporates elevated outlets for water supply that are higher than the inflated diameter of the hose from the testing surface, a means to vent trapped air shall be provided between the hose and the outlet valve. 4.8.5.2 Conducting the Test. 4.8.5.2.1 The test layout shall be connected to the outlet side of the water supply valve on the hose testing machine. 4.8.5.2.2 A test cap with a bleeder valve shall be attached to the far end of each hose line in the test layout. If a test cap is not available, a nozzle with a nontwist shutoff shall be permitted to be used. 4.8.5.2.3 With the test cap valve or the nozzle open, the pressure shall be raised gradually to 45 psi ± 5 psi (3.1 bar ± 0.35 bar or 310 kPa ± 35 kPa). 4.8.5.2.4* After the hose test layout is full of water, all the air in each hose line shall be exhausted by raising the discharge end of each hose line above the highest point in the system. WARNING: All air must be removed from the hose before the valve in the test cap or the nozzle is closed and the pressure raised. The development of test pressures introduces the potential for a serious accident if air remains in the system. 4.8.5.2.5 If the hose testing machine incorporates elevated outlets for water supply that are higher than the inflated diameter of the hose from the testing surface, air shall be vented next to the water input end. 4.8.5.2.6 The nozzle or test cap valve shall be closed slowly, and then the outlet water supply valve shall be closed. 4.8.5.2.7* The hose directly in back of the test cap or the nozzle shall be secured to avoid possible whipping or other uncontrolled reactions in the event of a hose burst. 4.8.5.2.8 With the hose at 45 psi ± 5 psi (3.1 bar ± 0.35 bar or 310 kPa ± 35 kPa), it shall be checked for leakage at each coupling and the couplings tightened with a spanner wrench where necessary. 4.8.5.2.9* Each hose shall then be marked around its full circumference at the end or back of each coupling or collar to determine, after the hose has been drained, if the coupling or collar has slipped during the test. 4.8.5.2.10 All personnel other than those persons required to perform the remainder of the http://codesonline.nfpa.org/components/com book navigation/printer frie... 10/29/2013 Page 5 of 8 Copyright by National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

For inquires or to report unauthorized use,contact licensing@nfpa.orq. collars shall be observed for coupling slippage after completion of the service test and after the hose has been drained. 4.8.5.2.17.2 If the hose assembly shows any sign of coupling slippage, the hose assembly shall have failed the test. 4.8.6 Service Test Using a Stationary Pump or a Pump on a Fire Department Apparatus. The procedure given in 4.8.6.1 through 4.8.6.16.2 shall be used when hose is to be service-tested using a stationary pump or a pump on a fire department apparatus. WARNING: Because there is a potential for catastrophic failure during the service testing of fire hose, it is vital that safety precautions be taken to prevent exposure of anyone to this danger. Do not deviate from the procedures prescribed herein. 4.8.6.1 The test gauge that is used to read the test pressure shall have been calibrated within the previous 12 months. 4.8.6.2* A hose test valve consisting of a fire department gate valve with a 1/4 in. (6.4 mm) opening drilled through the gate and designed to withstand the service test pressures shall be used between the pump and the hose test layout. 4.8.6.3 The test layout shall be connected to the hose test valve. 4.8.6.3.1 If a pump on a fire apparatus is used, the hose test valve shall not be attached to any discharge outlet at or adjacent to the pump operator's position. 4.8.6.3.2 The hose test valve end of the hose line shall be secured with a belt tie-in or rope hose tool at a point 10 in. to 15 in. (250 mm to 400 mm) from the coupling. 4.8.6.4 A test cap with a bleeder valve shall be attached to the far end of each hose line in the test layout. If a test cap is not available, a nozzle with a nontwist shutoff shall be permitted to be used. 4.8.6.5 With the hose test valve open and the test cap valve or nozzle open, the pressure shall be gradually raised to 45 psi ± 5 psi (3.1 bar ± 0.35 bar or 310 kPa ± 35 kPa). 4.8.6.6* After the hose test layout is full of water, all air in each hose line shall be exhausted by raising the discharge end of each hose line above the highest point in the system. WARNING: All air must be removed from the hose before the valve in the test cap or the nozzle is closed and the pressure raised.
