I installed a new propane 3/4 inch line from the tank to the house. The reason for a new line, the inspector installed a test gauge. He said the line needed to hold one pound for three minutes. The test failed. I found the line to be bad. I installed a new line. I pressurized the new line it held 15 lbs for around two hours. Then dropped 1/2 lb. I am sure it will pass the inspector test of one lb for three minutes. Is there an acceptable drop allowed, on a gas line pressure test. The gas is regulated to one lb entering the house. Any thoughts? Stan
