Pressure testing

[Sampson]

When you pressure test hot and cold water do you turn on shower valves to test those also. And do you usually test with air or water? Everything is pex. Besides copper stub outs for toilet and sinks.

either one, depending on what is available. And, YES, test the valves also so you do not have a leak in the shower riser or spout drop.

I can do it either way. Only have 50 lbs water pressure. Is that enough? Read where you are suppose to check at higher pressure. Do you need to. Thanks.
