Out here in CT (and central MA), it varies all over the lot. Typically if I hear anything it is 1 year. To some extent, it also depends on the location. Some areas go longer because it is difficult to get a flow test. Of course, in other areas, you could submit a flow test from the 1870s and it would be accepted, provided there was a PE stamp on the drawing. But 1 year is pretty typical.
