We figured the easiest way to pressure-test the loops was to do them all at once, with one gauge. We first connected all of open ends with brass "Ts" and connected a pressure gauge. to the last open "T". |

We went through a bunch of crimp rings, as each "T" required 3 rings. |
Hooking up our air compressor, we charged the loops to 80lbs. and let it sit. After a few hours, the pressure did only dropped 2lbs., then held. We attributed that to the fact that we turned the heat off. |

Next, we worked on building and bracing the form to mark the outside edge of the threshold. We're now ready for concrete! |
