Subject: [Shop-talk] Pressure testing 1 1/2 inch PVC

I’m trying to check a buried 1 1/2 inch PVC pipe (pool) for a leak. I plan on pressurizing it to see if a leak is exposed.   What’s a safe pressure that won’t blow apart fittings?

DWV pipe is tested around 5 psi and hold for two hours.  Try that first.
