Had an engineer install two Hitachi 5kw R32 splits RAK50PED & RAC50WED. Just a straight 5m and 6m run with the flares outside. Quite a simple install..... but when tested with 450psi ofn, both systems were losing pressure (30psi/15psi) in 10mins. Flares checked and rechecked (leak spray) and engineer worked out that service valves were letting by. Both systems!
The distributor (H) is not showing any interest and quite awkward about it, sounding like his responsibility will extend only as far sending a couple of service valves (if lucky) so I can fix the problem this has caused (great).
The kit was on special prices and whilst there is the buy-cheap-buy-twice chime in the background, I had expected more from the Hitachi brand (and that distributor).
Anyone else had issues with service valves letting by?
