Using combine with no rads

[Robieglow]

Hi
Can anyone tell me if its ok to connect the flow and return on a combie without any rads in the loop if so can I run it without a gas supply to the boiler as I would like to check for leaks on the work that I have done so far as some of the pipe work runs in a cavity wall that I need to plasterboard and scim befor rads can be installed
thanks

Fyi you need to be gas safe to work on anything regarding boilers even installing them/ putting them on the wall

Why not just rent a pressure tester for a day? Just running water through the pipework isn't really a thorough enough test. It'd be a lot less hassle than a temporary pipe loop as well.

Better still, ask your GSR to test it. That way he can also be 100% confident of the pipework that he'll be connecting the boiler to. You ARE using a GSR aren't you???
