d) Add air to the line segment being tested until the internal air pressure of the sewer line is raised to approximately 4.0 psi (28 kPa) greater than the average back pressure of any ground water that may be over the top of the pipe. Pressure in the sewer should not exceed 5.0 psi (35 kPa). Allow at least 2 minutes for air pressure to stabilize.
