Default New pipes!

scored these pipes on eBay for $600. A good $1200 off new price and should put any reversion worries to rest.

should I pressure test them or just send ‘em?

I assume I hook a water supply up to the barbed fitting and block off the exhaust outlet and make sure water does not come back out the exhaust inlet side?

Any suggestions on what to use to block off the exhaust outlet?

Thanks,
R

I would use low pressure regulated air. Seal off the end and see if it will maintain. Do not use city/house water pressure. They will never see that high of pressure so no need to expose them to it.

What amount of air pressure would be safe to use?

10-15psi should suffice. Remember your checking for leaks, not making pipe bombs. lol
