When not in use, where should test fittings be stored?

Test fittings should be stored stowed under lock and key in a central location when not in use to ensure their security and integrity. This practice helps to prevent unauthorized access or potential tampering, protecting both the equipment and the safety of the personnel who may use it. Storing these fittings in a designated central location allows for better organization, ensuring that they are readily available when needed while simultaneously reducing the risk of loss or damage. Proper storage also contributes to maintaining the calibration and functionality of the fittings, as environmental factors can affect their performance if not stored appropriately.
