Pete Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I need to do an air test on one leg of my UFH as the timber frame installer decided to drill in a doorway when fitting the internal wall soleplate. The question is will an air test work to find if there is a leak now the pipe has been encased in concrete for over 12 months or will it be better to do a wet test to see if a wet patch develops? Hope this is not to silly a question!
ProDave Posted September 17, 2019 Posted September 17, 2019 I would (temporarily) undo the screw he has inserted. Any leak then (air or water) will be obvious. If no leak put the screw back.

If no leak put the screw back. That is my reasoning also but I also want to test all the legs and just wondered what people thought about using air rather than water
