pressure of 10 pounds per square inch

time as determined by the building of-
ficial, but in no ease for a period of less
than 30 minutes, with no perceptible
drop in pressure. Pressure testing of

or an equivalent device so calibrated as
to be read in increments of not greater
than one-tenth pound. The source of
pressure shall be isolated before the
pressure tests are made.
In cases where the work authorized
by the permit consists of a minor in-
stallation of additional piping to
piping already connected to a gas
meter, the foregoing inspections may
be waived at the discretion of the
building official In this event, the
building official shall make such in-
spections as he deems advisable in
order to assure that the work has been
performed in accordance with the in-
tent of the code.
