Couldn't you just put the pressure gauge on the flange connection before the hose valve?
-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Todd - Work Sent: Wednesday, June 19, 2013 6:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: water test without hydrants I have a client who tapped a new 6" line into an 8" public main which does not have any hydrants on it. Now we have to get a flow test. My thought is to put a flange on the 6" with a 2-1/2" hose valve, to which I connect my fire hose and Hose Monster. We would then need to find a nearby property tapped off that line and read pressures from that system. It seems to make sense, but am I missing something?
