Adapter for this tester?

[Riley26]

Any one used a 3 way pressure test kit like this.

What kind of adapter do you use on the tester to connect to the pipework. Its like a 1/4 male thread. Thanks

Depends what pipe you're connecting to.....now how would one join ¼" BSP to xx pipe work?

 

[Riley26]

would be 15mm pipe. Only think I can think of is a 1/4 bsp female to 15mm compression. If they do such a fitting?

What are you trying to test?

 

[Terry lambert]

Or a bush into a 1/2 female to 15mm comp

Smart arse

YP2LC

YP2LC 08101 to be precise

 

[Riley26]

Thanks for the help. guessing there's no push fit option? As would be a lot easier to re-use.

 

[Terrywookfit]

Use a YP2LC on a short piece of copper.
You can then use a pushfit or comp fitting of choice.

Can anyone confirm how to use this I hooked it up to my manometer and the pressure keep dropping. Thought there was no leak was just a full length of pipe with a cap on, was just testing the kit. This stopped when I put a spare piece of manometer hose from the open ended nipple on the manometer. That there always is on a manometer when testing. To to blank on the test kit.

My gas safe plumber I work for, doesn't test his pipework before he applies corrosion protection as he say he trusts his soldered joints. However I'd like to be sure.

I always make a tee piece up with a lever valve on it. As I never trust the hand bellows not to loose pressure back through them
