Blow up a balloon. Put it on the pipe. Does the balloon shrink?

The pressure from the balloon will be greater than anything the pipe
will ever see.


I'd love to see a building inspector face looking at that. You know
your talking about a gas line in a house , a leaky gas line can cause
an explosion ( happens all the time ) They have proper test for a
reason I don't think a balloon in the end of a pipe is very good
advice.

I didn't suggest the balloon for the benefit of the building inspector; I
suggested it for the homeowner.

If you think it's an unacceptable, goofey, idea (and I agree on the goofey
part), what is your suggestion for a 1-2oz pressure test?

Didn't think so.
