Gas test point ......

[Old Account]

hi guys

In future I would like to install a gas test like a T fitting does anyone know where to get those fittings? An old mate has told me it would be a good practice.

Thanks
Ron

BES 15mm gas finger test point

Just reduce down from a 22mm end feed tee. Not pretty but does the job.

Or 22x 1/2" tee
Bush down to 1/8th"

Have done both myself. As I said not that pretty but does the job.

you can get 15mm or 22mm isolation valves with built in test nipples at a reasonable price.

I have stated useing 15mm from screwfix for hobs. They look a bit restrictive though

either that or I use like scott said but a 22x22x 15 female centre with a 1/2" to 1/8" bush then test nipple

Center compression female iron reducing branch tee 22 x 22mm x 1/2 | Wolseley

starts to get expensive then tho

Press is even better as I got myself a crimping machine now. Thanks for the information shaun

Is this for air testing before gas is available on site? And air testing before corrosion protection? The gas isolating valve from screwfix with test nipple seems a good idea. I have tried the 3 way test tees with hand pump but had trouble with them leaking back through the bellows on the hand pump.
