What Role Does the Quality of Welding Materials and Fittings Play in a Leak Appearing Years After Finishing?
A poor or incomplete weld joint may not show its problem right away, since the low pressure in the first period of use may not reveal it, but it gradually weakens with repeated pressure and heat cycles until it fails years later. This is one of the reasons a "sudden leak" appears in a relatively old building even though no recent modification was made to the network.
