Hey Vince!
I think the intent of a main drain test is to check the 'status' of
the automatic water supply near the source, at acceptance, and
regulary to catch and unacceptable degradation. I might be wrong
though, since i have only thought that for about 2 minutes so far.

Good morning & Happy New Year!
A 2" main drain test is required for system acceptance.
We're installing a dry pipe valve downstream and
auxiliary to a wet system with an alarm valve and a 2" drain.
My question is , would a 2" main drain test from the existing wet
system stand for an acceptance test or do we have to find a way
to run a worthless 2" drain line from the new dry system (at an inside wall)
to an outside wall?
Thanks! Vince
