Obviously to prove that a system doesn't leak.
I'm pretty sure my plumber did NOT pressure test my plastic pipe CH system when he commissioned it last night.
I'm just curious as to whether the 10 bar pressure ONLY tests for leaks, or actually has some "setting" action on the fittings - making the teeth bite-in a bit harder, for example. I know it won't have any lasting effect on the O-rings.
So does the lack of a pressure test actually make a system less reliable, or just makes it... err... untested?
Is it common practice NOT to pressure test a plastic system?
If it was common practice, would anyone openly admit that on a web forum?
Just curious
