What to Check First

Identify the exact test boundary
Verify all permanent and temporary openings
Confirm damper positions and access-door seals
Inspect caps, bracing, supports, hoses, and instrument connections
Clear personnel and obtain authorization before pressurizing

Ask Foreman

Can we walk this test boundary together before pressure goes on and confirm every opening, cap, damper, and temporary seal?

Do Not Do This

Do not pressurize a section with unknown openings, loose caps, incomplete supports, or people working inside the boundary.

Why This Matters

Stored pressure can eject caps or debris, damage ductwork, and injure workers.

Verify against: approved leakage-test plan, site safety procedure, test-equipment instructions.
