What drain?  I come out of a jockey with a relief, check, gate and tie to
high side of the pump bypass.

Why not just use the drain on the JP discharge line. That would verify the
supply side connection and give a relative performance over time, without
wasting a ton of water.

Tom,
Here is a comment that we include on our plan review for all systems that
have a fire pump. We require this drain on the suction side of the pump to
test/verify in integrity of the incoming water supply.

"A main drain test connection must be installed on the suction side of the
pump per NFPA-13 (2002 edition), paragraph 8.16. 4.1."
