1. Turn on the Water and Check for Leaks
• Close all faucets and turn the water back on at the water meter or
pressure tank.
• Check for leaks. If a leak is present, drain the plumbing again
before soldering.
2. Flush the Remaining Debris from the System
• Open the cold water faucet on your bathtub.
• Allow the system to flush the remaining dirt and debris into the
bathtub, until the water runs clear.
• Open all remaining faucets and allow the plumbing to release any
trapped air in the system.
• Close all of the faucets.

handles should be parallel to the pipes (see figure 9).
