All field penetrations must be tested using a stream of water poured from a container located not less than 6” away horizontally. Warranty will be void if this testing is not completed during installation, or if there is water ingress from field modifications. Any cabinets located above the product must not allow water to build up and then flow through conduits into the product. Penetrations between product and higher cabinets must be sealed between the cabinet internal spaces using a water-tight cable to conduit seals. Holes remaining from eyebolt removal must be filled, sealed, and tested.
