Hi all
I’m having to fit a Stuart Turner pump to an install that will be fed from a tank.

However, I’d like to get the install tested including the pump if possible but without it connected to the break tank, as that isn’t available at the moment.

Would I have to bypass the pump to test the rest of the pipe work or could I temporarily connect to the pump via an incoming mains?

I believe the pump operates at 1.5 bar.
Cheers
 
if you limit the flow to 12lpm you should be fine
