1. Air testing of the secondary containment must be performed before backfilling.
2. All sensor cable termination chambers (see figures 5-3 and 5-4) must be completely installed before

cable from being blown back into the secondary containment.
3. Assemble required piping for air test and follow test procedure provided by the secondary containment
piping manufacturer's installation guide.
CAUTION: THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY MUST BE FREE OF WATER AND OIL.
4. After the air test has been completed, remove test piping and cap test ports on the secondary
containment.
