Checking for leaks in new pipework

[DavidJ]

I'll be putting in new runs of copper for my bath / basin taps that will run under the floor and in the walls.

Will capping the ends off and turning on the water be enough to check for leaks before tiling over?

Yes I would leave them a couple of days before doing anything

You are probably fitting isolation valves for future servicing, yes? Get a bit of plastic pipe and plumb to other side and stick it in to a bucket and open it up till water comes out, close again, check. let you crack on with the rest.

Thanks for the tip!
