: Need to test my new supply lines to a bathroom. Running 3/4" to 1/2" copper to fixture rough-ins. Pipes are all accessible and visible. How do I prevent air pocket and pressure building in the capped lines? Trickle-fill? Peter, Just fill the lines with water. Air in the lines is OK. When faucets are in use, any air will quickly be gone. If there are leaks, you will know very shortly. Terry
