After all piping is fitted and fastened and
all outlets are capped up there must be applied by the plumber, in
the presence of the Plumbing Inspector, a test with air to a pressure
equal to a column of mercury six inches in height, and the same shall
stand for five minutes. Only mercury gauge shall be used. No piping
shall be covered up, nor shall any fixture, gas heater or range be
connected thereto, until a card showing the approval of this test
has been issued by the Plumbing Inspector.
No meter will be set by any gas company until
a certificate is filed with it from the Village Clerk certifying that
the gas pipes and fixtures comply with the foregoing rules.
When for any reason it may be impractical to
comply strictly with the foregoing rules, the Plumbing Instructor
shall have the power to modify their provisions so that the spirit
and substance thereof shall be complied with. Such modification shall
be endorsed upon the permit over the signature of the Plumbing Inspector.
