I'm in the process of a second story addition. I had a friend of a friend- Licensed Plumber stop by and give me tips on what I needed to do - as far as layout-permit-codes and basic pointers.
Anyway- I'm going to have him back over this weekend to check out before the inspection. I like inspections to go smoothly. (Although HVAC inspection was a joke- inspector didn't even climb up the ladder to check the unit!!!)
The guys that ran all the new gas lines for me- gave me a meter for the Gas line inspection. Hold 20psi for 20 minutes.
I thought-what a great idea-use a reducer on the meter - a female on the ¾ copper and I'd be able to check if it holds air- which is a LOT easier to clean up than water.
If it holds air- it should hold water... What pressure should I take it to-and how long should I check it for?
Thanks-
Richard
