Gas Pressure Testing & Safety Inspections: common questions
What does a passed pressure test mean?
The line held pressure with no drop, so the tested section was not leaking at that time.
How often should gas lines be inspected?
There is no one rule for every home. Ask a plumber, and test after any gas line work.
Is a test needed after new work?
Yes. A test is a normal last step after gas line work.
How long does a pressure test take?
The gauge is watched for a set time. The plumber will explain how long your test will take.
Does a pressure test replace leak detection?
They work together. A pressure test shows that a leak exists, and detection finds where it is.
