Leak In CH - Pushfit 8mm

[kevhky]

Hi

Ive googled but cant find any do they exist PUSHFIT 8mm

I still have leak in either combi or pipework, done several checks and cant seem to locate it

i want these so i can isolate the pipework under the floor to each rad in turn to hopefully find out which part of the pipework / rad is causing the leak

Any advice would be appreciated

Not a s a general purpose range, I don't think.
You can get compression fittings easily enough though, it's a standard gas size.
If you've got microbore, can you put in an isolator for a manifold?

Hi yes its microbore

Id need to rejoin all pipework once i fornd out which was causing me the problems


Pipework is 22mm flow and return from combi then manifold to 8mm to all rads

i need to find out which rad / pipework is leaking

Ive just filled ch system to 1.2bar and turned heating off im going to leave it all day to see if pressure goes down as im still not 100% certain i have leak in pipework

I have access to the manifold under the floor, what isolater would you reccomend

Would this isolator be okay to use in the ch pipework, are they prone to leak as i wont have access once fitted
