TRIP TESTS
Partial Trip Test
Partial trip tests are required to confirm proper valve oper-

operation. Victaulic recommends that the partial trip test
be performed annually.

The authority having juris-
diction in your area may require that you perform this
partial trip test on a more frequent basis. Verify these
requirements by contacting the authority having jurisdic-
tion in the affected area.
