You Got Me Under Pressure

Over the past few days (evenings, actually) I've been trying to pressure test the tubing and manifold.

The first few leaks were easy to find because you could hear them. They were the joints between the elbows and the shut-off valves.

What turned out to be the other leak was tougher because it wasn't audible.

So this became my new best friend...

Use a little craft paint brush to spread bubble fluid on the joints and it's easy to find the leak!

Turns out it was the threaded joint for the pressure test gauge...

It's been holding pressure for a couple of hours, so we should be good now.
