Stop in for a cup of coffee

Ok guys. I made a compression tester today. Crimped together a 10,000 psi hydraulic hose. Put a norgen air gauge. And ground down a spark plug and welded a nipple on it. Question though. Do I need a check valve on this thing?20200524_103139.jpg 20200524_103048.jpg I never did a compression test. But common sense is telling me yes.
