When I was at FM, that was the correct way to test a loop; flow one
side, then the other, then both. However, most of the sprinkler
designs were based on the flow of both. I don't understand the water
company's logic unless there is a possibility that the loop could be
modified, disconnected or impaired. Was the loop all on the property
in question?

I did a test the other day. The water purveyor insisted that we shut
one of the control valves on the loop and test the hydrant furthest
downsteam. The gauge hydrant was upsteam ofc the test hydrant.
The purveyor insisted that the loop should not be fully open.
Is that corect? We were getting infp for a future system.

Subject: Re: Flow Hydrant vs. Test Hydrant
The way that I have always done it was to try to get the effective
point of the test as close to the building as possible. The effective
point is the junction of flowing and non-flowing water. Often is
turns out to be the intersection of the hydrant spur with the main
line. There could be exceptions depending on the arrangement of the
hydrants and the lead in, but that would need to be looked at individually.
