1. A piping apparatus, comprising:
- a first assembly portion formed by a first tubular section and a first valve;
a second assembly portion formed by a second tubular section and a second valve; and
a piping section attached to the first assembly portion and the second assembly portion,wherein the second assembly portion is separable from the first assembly portion at a location associated with the piping section to facilitate attachment of the first assembly portion to a first pipe of a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system and attachment of the second assembly portion to a second pipe of the HVAC system.

Abstract
The piping stick can define a sealable volume including a plurality of piping sections and a plurality of control sections. The non-connected end of the piping sections of the piping stick can be capped. The piping stick can be assembled by assembling the plurality of control sections and the plurality of piping sections, pressurizing the piping stick at a first time and determining the integrity of the piping stick by evaluating the pressure in the piping stick at a second time.
