MDX-R3 PRESSURE TESTING

Pressure Test-READ BEFORE INSTALLATION:
New Style Test Plug 

The 4” pressure test plugs (005-252-1610-00) 

use an o-ring to make the seal.

Wrap once with Teflon tape to prevent plastic 

threads from binding. Insert plug into threaded 

socket. Use an adjustable wrench, a 1½” 12pt 

socket or pliers on lug and tighten by hand until 

snug. Over tightening may cause parts to break.  

Assemble the Drain PRIOR to Adding Water -

(#3) and secure with 3 (three) security screws
