Do you have valves on your mainline to close off parts of it? I find that works the best for leak detection. It can be very frustrating working with the bender. If you can isolate your woods, start with valves in mainlines, and get one area perfect, then the next and so forth. Each isolated section should bring the same vacuum reading at the end of the line on each section, to know you all the leaks out.
