The Boss Tee is designed to work double duty in the sanitary DWV piping system: during construction to hydrostatically test the piping system for leaks then after testing as a standard cleanout tee. When The Boss Tee is closed off with an internal plug, it can be used to test DWV piping from one to three floors, or 10 to 30 feet of head pressure (approximately 5 to 15 P.S.I.) above the cleanout tee thus eliminating the need for an inflatable plug in the vertical stack.

8. The Boss Tee Testing Procedures 6 Note: The Boss Tee can be used to test the piping system in the customary manner by installing a plug into the internal threading and filling the piping from the top. ► Remove cleanout plug at face of tee. ► Thread a raised hex head plug (by others) into the internal threading. ► Remove plug from test port. ► Thread ½” NPT nipple with boiler drain valve into the port . Pressure gauge may be installed before the boiler drain valve. ► Connect water hose to the boiler drain valve and water supply to fill piping. Boiler drain valve must be in the open position. ► When piping is full of water - shut off the water supply and close the boiler drain valve. ► When testing is complete - disconnect the water hose from the water supply and place in stack, floor drain or other acceptable drainage point and open boiler drain valve to drain piping. ► When piping is completely drained - reverse steps to install the cleanout plug.

9. The Boss Tee Advantages ► SAFETY – contractor not required to remove inflatable plug from inside of stack with 5 -15 psi pressure just upstream of the plug. ► REDUCES THE CHANCE OF MOLD – due to water spilling inside the chase. ► CONTROLLED TESTING ENVIRONMENT – provides contractor with effective means of controlling the filling and draining of piping system. ► RELIABILITY – better testing results because of reliable closure of the stack. ► TIME & MATERIAL SAVINGS – eliminates the inflatable plug in the vertical stack and the time to get it to seal properly. ► EFFICIENT – test up to 3 floors at a time. The inspector can use the gauge to verify pressure in the line. ► LARGER, SPHERICAL OPENING in the fitting allows for easy hand access for line testing/inspection/cleaning. ► CLEANOUT TEE REMAINS IN THE STACK after testing to be used for future maintenance and testing. 7 The Boss Tee, Cleanout and Test Tee - Another Contractor Friendly Product from Jay R.
