This test shall be performed when the ball valve has integral captive rotating nuts or tail pieces as connection to the pipework.
The purpose of this test is to verify the torque resistance of the nut.
Any idea of what this tail piece could be?
Thanks!

Search Tailpiece at https://www.keckley.com/ball-valves/ seems to mean discharge side, drain side...
(term is new for me) "The ***tailpiece*** is a pipe that runs between a fixture and trap. ... The trap is a curved section of drain line that prevents sewer odor from entering your home. from https://www.petro.com/resource-center/plumbing-glossary-plum...
Question is does the ball valve preded an odor trap in a drain system?
