Leak Testing before Installation?

Posted by DANARCHY on January 22, 2004 at 13:50:42:
I am in the process of installing a gas heater and gas cook top stove. What I would like to know is there a way to leak test fittings before they are installed? A few of the connections will be in inaccessable locations after I install ALL of the piping, and I would like to test those fittings first, the other fittings I will check after installation. (one example is (2) 90 degree elbows with a 4" long pipe connection that will be behind a (tile)wall with almost No crawl space under that part of the house)
