Freshly installed PEX-A ball valve leaks on hot side despite passing cold-side pressure test, causing uncertainty about defect source.
Standard pressure tests may not detect hot-side leaks or manufacturer defects in valves; lack of reliable diagnostic method for intermittent or temperature-dependent leaks.
