Reed Tool HTP300 Hydrostatic Test Pump, 300 PSI

Reed's HTP300 and HTP1000 Hydrostatic Test Pumps are designed to test water meters, plumbing lines, pressure vessels, solar systems and sprinkler systems, in both residential and commercial buildings. The test pumps are portable and can be used to test modest irrigation lines. Pump operation requires the user to first fill the system that needs to be tested. Next, the user raises the system pressure by actuating the test pump handle. Finally, the user closes the pump's ball valve at the desired pressure. The user determines leakage based on dropping pressure as indicated by the hydrostatic test pump's pressure gauge. The pump has a relief valve that reduces the likelihood of over-pressuring the system. Reed Manufacturing has been producing fine tools for worldwide professional trades since its founding, in 1896, by Carl Reed. Reed celebrates its 118th year of business in 2014. From the company's beginning, Reed associates have invented tools that continually become industry standards, including the Quick Release Tubing Cutter, various tools for plastic pipe, vises, plus Hinged Cutters and Rotary cutters for large diameter pipe.
