Filed:

Nov 16, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/993232

Inventors:

Louis Giordano - Mayfield Village OH 44124

International Classification:

F16L 3500

US Classification:

285 12, 285 93, 28514823, 2853341, 73 491, 73 495

Abstract:

A test apparatus for testing the fluid tightness of pipes of different sizes includes a one-piece main body having a tubular portion defining a chamber with a wall, the wall having at least four internally threaded wall portions. Each one of the internally threaded wall portions has a different diameter whereby the main body can be screwed separately onto at least four different diameter externally threaded pipes in a fluid-tight manner. The one-piece main body has a head portion connected with the tubular portion. The head portion has a gauge port in fluid communication with the chamber. The head portion has a test fluid inlet port in fluid communication with the chamber and with the gauge port. The gauge port has the same configuration as the test fluid inlet port whereby a test gauge can be connected in either the gauge port or the test fluid inlet port and a test fluid supply line can be the connected in either the test fluid inlet port or the gauge port.

Inventors:

Louis Giordano - Mayfield Village OH, US

International Classification:

F16L055/00

US Classification:

285/012000

Abstract:

The All-Purpose Pressure Test Kit is used for pressure testing of pipelines for inspections by state inspectors of plumbing and gas installations and repairs. The All-Purpose Pressure Test Kit can be used to test water lines, gas lines, waste lines, and vent lines. All pressure-testing requirements are captured in this one device, with attachments, from the All-Purpose Pressure Test Kit.
