With the standing pressure test, the __________ the system stays under pressure, the more reliable the leak-check will be. On residential systems, __________ should be more than sufficient time for even the smallest leak to cause movement on the gauge. If at all possible, the system should be under pressure __________ to ensure that the system is leak-free prior to startup. If a _________ leak is present, the pressure in the system will begin to drop rapidly. __________ leaks may require much more time to show up on the gauge.
