When I was on the PITT plumbing course earlier this year Steve had made himself a pressure test kit using a footpump, anyone done this?

What fittings do you use to connect to the footpump?

Steve's came from the footpump (somehow) to a speedfit "t" piece with 22mm and 15mm branches with stop end to connect and test pipwork.

I just can't find a connector to fit my footpump.

If I got stopped in London with something like that in the back of the van - I reckon I'd be doing a Birmingham 6 laugh.gif laugh.gif laugh.gif

Seriously though having second thoughts on this on now...i've read some interesting posts about the speed of fittings flying off pipework under compression!!!

Yikes.
