14 Piece Deluxe Flow Test Kit
This Deluxe Flow Test Kit is designed and specifically curated for a range of fire flow tests requiring certified, high accuracy gauges – it redirects flows, straightens streams, and delivers highly accurate water flow testing in water based and fire protection systems such as fire hydrants, hose, and other water-flowing equipment. This complete kit maximizes accuracy for users and minimizes inconvenience for nearby pedestrians and vehicles. This kit is ideal for two contractors working in tandem: one can use a test cap and gauge to measure static pressure while another takes pitot gauge readings from an open hydrant. This 14-piece kit includes:
- Two 1/4 in. NPT Ashcroft™ 1009AW 3-1/2 in. Dry Pressure Gauges (Gauge Range Options available -30-600 PSI) NIST Available
- Three Brass Test Caps: One 3/4 in. Faucet Test Cap, One 1-1/2 in. Hose Test Cap One 2-1/2 in. Hydrant Test Cap
- One Quick-Disconnect Double-Ball Bleeder Valve
- One Hex Pitot Gauge Handle
- Two Pitot Blades: One Ultra-Thin, One Ultra-Thin Notched
- One Hydrant Flow Nozzle to straighten stream of water
- One 45-Degree Hydrant Flow Elbow to redirect stream of water
- One 43-1/3 in. Roll of PTFE thread-seal tape
- One set of spare gaskets
- One Plano Large All-Weather Carrying Case – Plano is a world-famous manufacturer of hard-shell rugged outdoor cases.
Which dial ranges should I choose?
The gauges in this flow test kit is available in multiple dial ranges. To prolong your gauge’s life, choose a range that places your expected pressures at the center of the dial or in the mid-range. For example, for testing outlets with 30 PSI choose a 0-60 PSI gauge range or for testing outlets with 50 PSI choose a 100 PSI gauge range.
