The system should be pressure tested before concealing the pipe line to check any leakage at joints.. |

Temperature Pressure De-Rating Factor : The operating pressure of PVC pipes will be reduced as the operating temperature increases above 23°C (73° F). To calculate this reduction, multiply the operating pressure with the correction factor shown below at a operating temperature of system :
