MLCP Fittings dripping

[jackyp1234]

Just to put your mind at rest I did a test removed all the oring and pressure tested upto 10 bar not one drop held fine

So yes sounds like it’s dislodged one of them and it’s not in fully or something else

You sure it’s not condensation?

Definitely not condensation mate it’s clearly on the fitting, like I say I’ve used it loads and not had an issue but this has got me thinking that maybe the fittings weren’t the best quality even though they seem great, I think we’ve probably just struggled to get the pipe in square and dislodged the o ring, I’ll just have to move on from it I think!

Fittings are top notch mate would chop it out and refit

Shaun,

The job we’re doing at the moment in tweetop, I’ve pressure tested at 5 bar and not had a drop, would you expect a leak to show its self at that pressure straight away.

Paranoia setting in!

Yeah will just do that and move on! Glad to hear you rate the fittings it’s horrible when you start doubting the quality of materials when you’ve installed so much of it!

Oh yes you would see a drop I’m guessing you left it for an hour etc ?

With the amount they make your bound to have a bad fitting once a year etc as we’re only human at the end of it

Yeah was at 5 bar for an hour and left at 2 bar after that and is still full at that, im just hoping they won’t drip later on but all you can do is test and move on isn’t it, just over thinking it after the ones dripping on the other job,

Thanks for putting my mind at ease mate it’s much appreciated, have a good weekend

If there’s no leak now there won’t be unless a joiner or spark goes through a pipe
