What is required after the corrective work on auxiliary drain and test valves?

• A. It shall be restored to full operational condition
• B. The public records must be updated
• C. The inspection report sent to AHJ
• D. The valve must be tagged as repaired

Answer: (A)

After corrective work on auxiliary drain and test valves, the valve and the system it serves must be back in full operating condition. This means the valve operates smoothly through its full range, seals properly without leaks when closed, and the drain/test function can be used as designed. You should also verify that the associated piping is clear, there are no obstructions, and the system can be drained and tested safely and reliably. This restoration ensures the system remains ready for service and that future tests can be performed correctly. Documentation steps like updating records or notifying the AHJ may be required by local rules, and tagging the valve as repaired might be done, but the essential requirement is having the valve and system fully operational again.
