#58781, "How do you pressure test pipes at 120psi?"


          

Ok I tried pressure testing my pipes at the Auto Hobby Shop..I hooked it up and heard this hi pitched air sound and I was afarid something would blow so I took it off and a whole bunch air blew out...ok normal rite. Thing is I'm scared to hook it up again cuz I'm thikning the line has about over 100 psi right...I don't need that much pressure I just need like 20 lbs..how do you guys set it up thanks.

you won't get 120psi in the pipes dude. Think CFM rating on the inlet valve, and the compressor.. lol

Duh..ok that was common sense. What kind of psi should I be seeing if I were to hook up a pressure gauge to it? thanks
