I was under the impression that you pressure test on full installs and small use is not necessarily done with pressure test.

I know where you're coming from but the existing pipe was 22mm plastic so just a few fittings to the flexi from the bath taps.

I understand. Not a lot you can do other than work with what is already there

I bet the pipe is scored, how else could it dribble unless the o ring is damaged.

Ever seen at merchants the straight lengths of plastic pipes being dragged by staff or plumbers along the ground?

They are part of the problem plastic fittings out the bags strewn over the shelves, pipe dumped on ghe floor in merchants

I agree but I wonder why it was over a month before it dribbled?

Hot was it?

Yes it was the hot but the bath had not been run for over a week before it leaked
