Or just YOLO it? I assume you pump it up to a pressure and see that it does not reduce. But is any amount of pressure reduction whatsoever acceptable?

I had the same thought but bought it in the end, but certainly gave peace of mind everything was fine when after 24 hours it was still holding pressure without even the slightest drop.
Ok its prob worth it, saves the cost of refilling if its botched.
Do you know what kind of pressure loops run at, does it depend on the pump speed?
I've never bothered with a pressure tester, I always just do a run with distilled water to check for leaks over 24hrs running the pump off a separate PSU outside the PC. I guess I like to live dangerously XD
I'm barely competent and I've only ever had leaks from them angled fittings that seems to be a common weakness and it seems every single angled fitting uses the same manufacturer. The new ek torque fittings seem a lot more reliable though.
You callin' me an idiot?Other than that they are pretty much idiot proof.
Personally I've never had a problem with angled fittings and I assume by this you mean rotary fittings ?. The only time I have ever known them to fail is when they have been under a constant stress or load for example used in a tight space at a crazy angle that puts a constant pressure on the rotary. Other than that they are pretty much idiot proof.
