Wolverine Brass web site " Pneumatic Std Cleanout Test P 3inch" #80361. It worked really well, was safe and no one got wet. I was a bit nervous though because most of the Drainage Piping ran through the finished home. I actually was not planning to do a test but rely on our workman ship but the Inspector said to test the system. He also told me to add more support to the Horizontal Piping (Every 4 feet). I am glad he told me that because I was thinking about how Heavy Water is as I was Filling the system. He also said I could test with air But I read about that not being allowed any more in Philadelphia. ( I could be wrong about that though)'' - [https://www.plumbingzone.com/threads/vacuum-testing-dwv-pvc-system.74978]		*''We just performed a water test on a new addition in an older home.
