        I would like to test newly installed PVC using an air compressor. Could you tell me what the procedure is? Thanks.

              You need to put a mim of 50lbs of air pressure on your line or the working pressure of your city water line pressure. Hold this test for 15 min. Dale’s Plumbing service LMP
