Place a gauge on the lines and then inject air into them to about 100 p.s.i.. Leave it for a day and see if the pressure drops. If it does you have a leak and will have to find it using a soapy water solution. : I was told that I should test my new water lines with air before I turned on the water. Exactly how do I do this and how do I tell where leaks are. I do have an air compressor. Thanks.
