Hey folks,
Been searching around for some tutorials on how to pressure test a line (to fully be certain my new lines are good before stone goes on top of them). I bought some parts to turn 1 1/2" threaded male into a threaded male the size of a garden hose. Then I bought a pressure gauge with a garden hose connector on the other end to attach to it.
So I can cap off a line and have a pressure gauge at the end to measure the pressure. But now...How do I pressurize the line and keep it like that so that I can see if the pressure ever drops off?
Or am I approaching this totally the wrong way?
Thanks!
