Mark, I bypass the smoke test - and use about 5psi pressure - from the intake elbow.
Works well. Can't put too much pressure on the elbow - soft rubber - not made for pressure. But 5 psi is plenty to find any leaks - it will come (p)hissing out.
Just a piece of plastic plumbing fitting that can squeeze in to the elbow, with a cap on it and a threaded hose nipple.
