Section R. 460.20312 - Test requirements; service lines other than plastic
Rule 312. The requirements contained in 49 C.F.R.§ 192.511(b) and (c), which are adopted by reference in R 460.20606 are superseded by the requirement that an operator shall test all service lines, other than plastic service lines, to a minimum pressure of 90 psig, but not less than 150% of the maximum allowable operating pressure, for not less than 10 minutes. Each segment of a steel service line stressed to 20% or more of specified minimum yield strength must still be tested in accordance with 49 C.F.R. § 192.507, which is adopted by reference in R 460.20606.
