A real brain teaser, its got me beat

Look there is a leak somewhere after 3rd valve it might be small and going somewhere you can't see might not be your fault it could be a pin hole in pipe up might just be better roping it out and doing it again if that the easiest way

After this pressure test, that has got to be the next move, I'm hoping the tissue I have round every joint is going to be wet, at least I will know then and do something about it

It is brand new copper at the monent, do I run it in poly or more copper ?

I hope you get it sorted let me know how you get on

I'll be letting EVERYONE know, I would hate anyone to have to deal with something like this again


Should have gone for an hourly rate, would have paid for Christmas somewhere sunny

If you can check all the pipe as it probably not your joints as you already checked them it's a hard one mate I do feel for you
If you change whether poly or copper it's your choice personaly I prefer copper
But nothing wrong with plastic it has it's place

After 40 years I thought I had seen it all, but this has me beat

I prefer copper, sweated joints myself, usually regard plastic and pushfit as a DIY thing (but the fittings are handy in tight spots or a loft with old style lagging (inflammable)

long shot and I'm sure its been ruled out all ready, I have read all the threads quickly (six pages) so my apologies in advance... Mixer tap body allowing cold into hot water side of life? as I say a long shot

 

[Gray0689]

I use all all sorts in right place
Copper
polypipe
Loads of underfloor pipe
Pipe in pipe
But will always prefer copper
