So define test header and for what test. We just went through a huge thread about BOR and testing this that and everything else with the original questioner never defining what the test was for (or at least not before I got bored). First picture in my head when someone says test header is one for a fire pump. Add another adjective like back flow or forward flow to test header and I'll have another picture. Add Hose Monster and my picture will be that manifold that you can run tubes to and read flow pressure from multiple pitots from a single remote location, either individually or collectively, but again, off a fire pump test header.
