Default What type of gauge to pressure check black gas pipe.

I was planning on a pressure test and soap test.

I have a gauge that I used for co2 I guess this will also work? It
is from 0-60psi


You should be using a gage that reads to around 5 psi and is readable
in units of 1/10 psi.

Here's one description of the procedure

Check your local codes to be sure of the correct requirements for your
area.

Note--gas valves are intended for low pressures--if you run the
pressure up too high they may leak even though there's nothing wrong
with them.
