The Pipe Equipment range of Pressure Test Ends are used as a quick, simple and reliable method of providing a pressure testing facility in a plastic pipe without the need for additional fusion or mechanical fittings.

This fully re-usable product is based on an expanding internal gripper design which works on the principle that that higher the pressure the tighter the grip. Tests have also shown that no additional form of restraint is necessary as failure is always due to either the pipe bursting or the pressure escaping past the sealing ring. During testing Test Ends have never shown signs of losing their grip, or becoming loose within a pipe.

This design was first produced in 1985 and has since been successfully used throughout the world.

Test Ends are currently available for all types and sizes of plastic pipe from 16mm (½″) to 500mm (20″), and are manufactured from high quality steel which is zinc plated for corrosion protection. Each size is designed for one wall thickness (SDR) of a given pipe size. They are suitable for use with both gas and water.
