Default Pushfit plumbing question

Probably a rhetorical question, but I have just had a 15mm pushfit
connector start weeping after 3 days, and I was just wondering how long
I need to leave the others now before I can convince myself they are ok?

The joint that leaked wasn't a genuine JG Speedfit, but the rest are, I
suppose that answers the question really...



If you pressure tested as per spec then no leaks should happen after the
test.

For example I just pressure tested my underfloor heating system, about 2.5km
of pipes - at 2.8 bar, and then had the screed put down while under
pressure.
Working pressure will be reduced to 1 bar once screed has cured.

Yesterday was a hard day with 23 tonne of fibre reinforced screed.
