Posted By Jonf Could someone tell me at what pressure we should be testing our airlines at. Used with a portable compressor. Not sure if there is such a pressure? or should we be testing at 10 - 15% above normal pressure (90psi).

Posted By Merv Newman 1. Why on earth would you be pressure testing your own airlines ? 2. Pressure testing should never be done with air. It goes BANG ! Testing with water only goes "splash" 3. Get a specialist with the right equipment to do it 4. If a visual inspection reveals problems then chuck. Or get it tested and repaired by a specialist. Merv
