Periodic Hydrotesting Requirement
All pressure vessels should be hydrotested periodically. This is a very simple process and it’s nothing to be feared.
We recommend that this container be pressure tested every 2 years up to 6 bar.
The instructions for this are:
1. Remove RED prv and fit GREY prv (you can borrow one of these from a 19L keg).
2. Fill keg to the absolute brim with water. DO NOT forget this step.
3. Use bike pump, CO2 regulator, air compressor or any other pressure source to pressurize the keg to 6 bar.
4. Hold the keg at 6 bar for 1 minute
5. Release the pressure and immediately remove GREY prv and swap back to RED prv.
Note: This test should be done with the keg and water in the keg at room temperature 15-30C
