As soon as the spray rack is turned on, the water rate is 8 inches for every minute that it’s being applied. 5. Test induced leaks are windows that have never leak prior to water-testing and where no person has ever witness that the window leaked during natural raining condition prior to testing. 6. Also there is no sign of interior damages or water stains on the back side of the drywall paper. 7.
