I think you only hydro High Voltage panels, not the typical low voltage used today. The high voltage can withstand the 200 psi; 270 PSI if it's a 220 volt panel, 50 PSI over the normal working voltage.
I don't blame you for not asking any questions.....but a high-pressure air test would be far safer, with permission of AHJ. glc -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dusha, Richard P.

I'm thinking 200 psi of water pressure might damage the panel. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of douglas hicks Sent: Friday, February 01, 2008 9:43 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Funny - or not - inspection story. Here is another inspection story. I was waiting for an inspection on a UL 300 fire suppression system, and the inspector was late. When he showed up, he was in a bad mood. He had just been on a fire alarm test and the stupid contractor did not know how to hydro the fire alarm panel. Luckily the building inspector know how to hydro the panel, or I would not have had my inspection that day. I was afraid to ask any questions. That inspector was on a 30 day contract with the City until they hired another inspector. _______________________________________________ Sprinklerforum mailing list [email protected] http://lists.firesprinkler.org/mailman/listinfo/sprinklerforum To Unsubscribe, send an email to:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (Put the word unsubscribe in the subject field)
