When additional fixtures are Installed or the style or location of any fixture is changed or when changes ire maae in ine piping system, the work ahall ba In- nsrtf4 til SOILS. WASTE AND VENT TESTS. Soil, wsste snd vent pipes, rain water leaders and all work known as "roughing In" and "under-floor work" between the house drain connections to points above the finished floors and hevond th finished face of walls and partitions shall be tested. (jl WATER AND AIR TEST.

The water test shall he applied by closing all openings in the pipes with proper testing plugs, to the highest opening above tha root, and completely filling the svstem with water or an air test with pressure of at least five pounds shall be used. If the pipea are found free from defects and leaking Joints, the test shall be considered complete and satisfactory. Buildings five ator-iee or more in height may be tested In sections aa directed by tha plumbing Inspector. When water Is not available, or when there ia danger of freesing. the air test, with a pressure of at lsaat Ave pounds, shall be used.

(k) smoke TEST. The smoke teat shall be used In testing the sanitary condition of the drainage or plumbing system of all buildings where there Is reason to believe it has become dangerous or defective on account of settlement of (he building, abuse, accident, or other cause. A smoke test niav be required by the inspector ss a part of the final Inspection and test on all new work or important alterations ot existing work where the Inspection disclosea questionable methods of connecting fixtures or traps, or where apparent defects in fixturea, traps or general workmanship and materiala ars observed. All windows, doors and other openings admitting outside air to tha building must be closed. The smoke machine ahall be connected to any suitable opening or outlet In the system.

When the eystem is filled completely with dense pungent smoke, and the openings emit amoks, they shall be closed air tight and an air pressure equivalent to a 1-inch water column may he applied and left standing at least ten minutes. (Due allowance is to be made by the inspector for shrinkage due to cooling of heated smoke.) If these la M10 leakage or forcing of trap seais or other defects the system ahall be con-sldoied air and gas-tight. Nothing in this sectloa. however, shall be, construed to prohibit the inspector from requiring the removal of any clean-out or unsealing of any trap or test plug to ascertain 1f the smoke hae reached all parts of the aystem. No fixture or any part of the system shall he used while the test ia being applied.

tin) TESTS FOR REPAIRS. Inspections may be made, but tests snail not be required after the repairing or replacing of any old fixtures, faucet or valve by a new one to be used for the same purpose, forcing out stoppage, repairing leaks or relieving frown pipes and fittings. Such repairs or alterations may not be construed to Include cases where new vertical or horizontal lines of soil, waste, vent or interior rain water leaders are used or their relativ locations changed. In a building condemned by the proper authorities because of insanitary conditions of house drainage or plumbing, tests snd inspections shall be made as for new buildings. In such cases repaira or alterations shall be made which are necessary to make the plumbing sanitary.

Any addition to the plumbing system when deemed necessary ahall be tested, NOTE: No test nor inspection shall be required where a house drainage and plumbing system or part thereof is set up for exhibition purposes: nor shall a test be required, aithoiigli inspection shall be made. where the plumbing is placed in an outhouse, stable or detached building used exclusively for such purpose. In) PREPARATIONS FOR INSPECTION. hen work is ready for insiiection the plumber in charge shall make such arrangement aa will enable the inspector (0 reach all parts of the building roadiiy.
