I recently purchased a pressure tester from Williams (Ray), looks a nice little unit. I was not at a stage with any of my jobs to try it out but a friend was so he borrowed it to test a CH system he had just installed. I gave him a quick overview of how to operate it but he must have forgotten some critical information.
He has just come back and told me that he tested the system to the pressure of the PRV (3 bar) and the system had no leaks. Well after speaking to him a little further it turns out that he pressurised it to 3 MPa (30 bar).
Despite him having no leaks of the system at this pressure do you think this will cause any future problems?, I am surprised the push fit stop ends he used withstood this pressure.
