The Sub-Contractor shall be deemed to have included in his price for all testpumps, and other equipment required under this Clause of the Specification.

The test pressure shall be one and a half times the maximum working pressureexcept where a pipe is manufactured from a material for which the relevant B.SSpecification designates a maximum test pressure as in the case of cast or spuniron pipes, where the test pressures should not exceed 120, 180 and 240metres/head of Clause B, C, or D pipes.

A. STERILIZATION OF HOT AND COLD WATER SYSTEMS

All under ground water mains and above ground water distribution systems,cisterns, tanks, calorifiers, pumps etc shall be thoroughly sterilized and flushedout after the completion of all tests and before being fully commissioned forhand over.
