Pressure Test Device For Plasson Large Bore Saddles
The large bore saddles are equipped with a special port to enable testing the integrity of the welding by applying water pressure prior to the cutting of the coupon. The water pressure is applied between the pipe surface and a temporary integral blanking plug at the saddle, through a PE tube welded to the saddle. The pressure line is connected to the tube by compression fitting for plastic pipe.
We recommend the use of a push-fit, quick release fitting - usually in use for pneumatic systems.
For pressure source - we recommend the use of a standard pump for pressure testing of plumbing systems. The max test pressure is 1.25 x working pressure.
