[Shop-talk] Gas leak repair/test

[Steven Trovato]

Who is this guy with the sniffer?  Do you have to pay him to do the 
re-check?  Maybe what he expects is for you to fix the problem 
without testing it further, and then his recheck will be the 
test.  My understanding is that the 15 PSI type test is just for new 
construction.  The usual test is at normal operating pressure with 
appliance shutoff valves open.  Then make sure system holds without 
dropping for however long they specify.  With the appliance valves 
closed, you aren't testing the part of the system past the 
shutoff.  I would ask the guy what he expects you to do before he returns.
