Manifold Pressure Test Kit

Sizes:  1" (24.5 mm) 1-1/4" (31.7 mm)
Watts Manifold Pressure Test Kits are designed to be used with Watts Copper Manifolds.
Pressure Gauge

Specifications
Watts Manifold Pressure Test Kits come pre-assembled to allow for easy pressure testing of manifold connections with either air or water. Copper Manifold Pressure Test Kits are fitted with O-ringed Brass Unions (MNPT/NPT).

Schraeder Air Valve O-ring Unions

Installation Parameters
 ttach the pressure test kit to the manifold pair making certain A the rubber o-rings are properly seated before threading the unions together.  sing the Schraeder valve for air or the water fill valves for liquid, U fill the system (air or water, but not both).  lose the valve and fill. Pressure test the system with 50-100 psi C (3.5 - 6.9 bar) water or air for 24 hours.  o help detect possible damage caused during the concrete pour, keep T the system under pressure. Note: I f the exterior temperatures are near or below freezing (32F (0.0C)) use air to pressure test. If a fluid must be used, use a 50-50 water/glycol solution. Failure to use glycol may result in frozen circuits. Do not test over 100 psi (6.9 bar), as this will  damage the gauge on the test kit. Some minor pressure changes will occur due to  the increase internal temperatures of the concrete as it begins the curing process. Fluctuations in air temperature may also cause a slight change in the test pressure. In most cases, a 10-15 psi (0.69 - 1.0 bar) drop in pressure over a twenty four hour period is not uncommon. For detailed information on the proper steps to conducting a pressure test, refer to Watts Heating PEX and Heating PEX-AL-PEX installation sheet.
