How do you guys who do site work accurately test first fix pipework etc before the gas meters are installed? I have got a few external gas runs that I have done, awaiting 8 meters to be fitted. The builder wants to paint all the pipes and take the scaffold down but the meters aren't due to be fitted for another 3 weeks or so. Is there an accurate way of testing so I can test what is in before the meters are fitted?
