    Air compressor to test pipework

    always use a rothenburger test pump but if possible i tee in a mains connection and hose pipe to fill it first. Most times you have mains of at least 3 bar so not too much hand pumping!

    Air compressor to test pipework

    I prefer a wet test. I think Rothenburger do an electrically powered test bucket... but it will cost. If you do an air test the air temperature has to be taken into consideration. I did an air test twice recently... once filled warm afternooon and the pressure had halved over night as the...

    Bernzomatic load of absolute rubbish!
