When repairing pipes, how long does it take you to stop worrying about it leaking or bursting and trust it?
I just finished my first major PEX repair to some old galvanized/copper pipes that the previous owner cursed on me. One joint is in the attic, one is in the wall, one is the connection between the spout and the pipe. I'm worried as heck about it bursting, leaking, that sort of thing, but so far I haven't seen any indication of a leak.
If it isn't leaking by the first 2 minutes, is it safe to say it ain't gonna leak?
Is there something I can do to mitigate the danger of having a spout fitting right next to a 220 v plug? (washing machine hot water tap and the dryer plug basically) I'm thinking that if the water line bursts, spills water all over the 220 v outlet, I'm in a serious world of hurt.
