Is there a national plumbing code requirement to water test a prefabricated foam (Scheduler-Kerdi) shower tray ?
I found the plumbing code for water testing shower pans constructed using liners but of course that does not apply to Kerdi pan right ?
That Code, 312.9 Shower liner test, says -
The pipe from the shower drain shall be plugged watertight for the test. The floor and receptor area shall be filled with potable water to a depth of not less than 2 inches measured at the threshold. The water shall be retained for a test period of not less than 15 minutes, and there shall not be evidence of leakage.
So is that what I should do for my Kerdi shower pan as well ?
Plug the drain, fill it up with 2" of water and let it stand for 15 minutes ?
Thanks so much.
