Default Genuine, real-deal, safe evaporator test

I have full access to the rear evap, as it is removed and would like to pressure test it. I’ve also got a 25 gal tank shop air system. So what is a safe way to get my shop hose attached to the high pressure port on the evap, and put a block off on the low side so as to run a 100psi test… That is without the threat of the air hose suddenly blowing off the evap and impacting on the operator?
thanks!

Sacrifice a dead expansion valve as an adaptor. Drill and thread the “outside” ports to adapt to whatever plumbing you need.
