Pressure testing time

[Chalked]

Had one un crimped fitting (socket) other than than, no probs. Mind you the fitting held 5 bar before blowing off!! Was like a fire hydrant.

All pipework is acccesable at the moment. We used Sanha fittings, not sure if it's designed with a leak path ? Took it to 5 bar with nothing visible. Then raised to 9 bar and saw the pressure gage on the pump drop quickly. Went into a a room to find a "serious " leak. Easily fixed and was the only prob on over 700 m of pipework.
Goes to show why pressure testing is a must!

700m that's a lot of work though. What are you working on ? Sanha are very good fittings though. What crimping machine have you got ?

I have a 110v geberitt/ mapress Gun and a cordless mapress which was bought from shauncorbs. I use the cordless one the most.
I get fittings from smith brothers. Good discount and stock. http://sbs.co.uk
