I will be adding a tee and run into my gas lines. I was planning on a pressure test and soap test.
I have a gauge that I used for co2 I guess this will also work? It is from 0-60psi

That will work fine. Where I am , they want the test at 15 psi. It should hold that. Be careful to turn off gas to any appliances first. They cannot handle that pressure. You could even loosen a union between each appliance and its valve if there is any chance the valve could leak.
You should be using a gage that reads to around 5 psi and is readable in units of 1/10 psi.
Here's one description of the procedure
Note--gas valves are intended for low pressures--if you run the pressure up too high they may leak even though there's nothing wrong with them.
