Stan the standing pressure test usually is at a lower pressure on a new line and it is isolated from the tank and the pressure regulators. If you hit the pressure regulators with 15 they are probably junk now. Max for the appliance regulator is usually a half pound. Reducing regulators can take more than that but do not have the book.
