Pressure Test Fittings
Check pressure without permanently installing a gauge. Fittings have an NPT male connection for installation in your pipe or tank. Wrench-tighten the fitting onto your equipment, then insert the gauge adapter (sold separately) into the fitting. Connect gauge adapters to gauges with 1/4 pipe size NPT male threads.

Thread these fittings onto your testing equipment by hand for a secure connection in testing applications—no tools, tape, or sealant required. Use them with gauges and other equipment as a temporary connection. When pressure is applied, the O-ring on the outlet presses against the testing equipment, creating a tight seal.
Adapters with intermittent swivel rotate 360° until tightened for easy installation.

Gauge Vibration Dampers
Also known as snubbers, these reduce the flow of fluids into your pressure gauge to damp vibration, pulsation, and pressure spikes. The smaller the orifice, the greater the reduction in flow.
Dampers with filter disc prevent damage to your gauge by trapping particles in your process media.
Dampers with five orifice inserts allow you to change the level of vibration and pressure damping as needed; remove the set screw to exchange inserts and then replace the set screw to use.

Quick-Disconnect Hose Couplings for Pressure Testing
Add quick connection points for mechanical gauges and other diagnostic equipment to your line. These couplings are also known as test ports and diagnostic couplings. To take a reading, connect a socket to your gauge using a hose assembly. Then push the socket into a plug that’s permanently threaded into a test port on your line. No threading or unthreading is necessary. Add additional plugs to your line to take measurements at different points. To quickly move the gauge to a different test port, pull back the sleeve on the socket to disengage.
A complete coupling consists of a plug and socket (both sold separately). The plug and socket both have a shut-off valve to stop flow when the coupling is separated, so they're sometimes called double shut-off couplings. They meet ISO 15171-1, which is an international standard for dimensional and performance standards of flat-face diagnostic push-to-connect couplings.
Note: To ensure a correct fit, make sure that the plug and socket have the same coupling size. Pressure ratings are given for static (constant) pressure conditions.
