Press coupling spit water under test... boss says I never pressed it
So we did a small repipe in a ranch in Cherry Hill, all press, and when the boss put it under test one of my 3/4 couplings was spitting... he took one look and said I never pressed it. I swear I did. Then he showed me the pipe and there was no depth mark, because I skipped marking on couplings since "I could feel it seat"... Couple questions. Is it normal for an unpressed fitting to leak like that or did I just get lucky? And if I DID press it and it still leaked, what else causes that? Trying to not do this twice edit: boss redid it, passed. buying a marker for every pouch I own
