Since 1985, FasTest has manufactured
a wide range of quick test connectors
and valves, designed for the industrial
manufacturing, HVAC-R and compressed
gas industries. They have secured more
than 50 US and international patents for
their state-of-the-art products, which
improve testing and manufacturing
processes whilst maximising efficiency,
productivity and profitability.
FasTest’s ground-breaking FE and FI
Connector Series were designed to
improve automated product testing
and provide fast, leak-free connections
for testing vacuum and pressure
applications, fluid filling and flushing.
The connectors, suitable for use with air,
gas or liquid, are manufactured with a
superior performance seal material and
are highly adaptable for pick and place
robotic systems. They are easy to use,
hardwearing, reliable and suitable for
testing up to 500 PSI.
Another of FasTest’s key product lines,
the TwistMate Series, provides easy
connection of internal and external
threads and compression fittings,
featuring a unique, hand tight twist to
connect feature. It is suitable for vacuum
and pressure test applications up to
10,000 PSI and provides seal vacuum to
5000 PSI. With a highly durable, stainless
steel construction, these connectors
can withstand demanding production
environments, ensuring leak-proof
sealing without the need for taping,
thread sealants or wrench tightening. The
TwistMate automatically seals when the
main seal is pressed against the test piece
and the system is pressurised with air, gas
or hydraulic pressure.
This greatly reduces the number of test
errors that lead to product loss, damage
repair costs and time wastage. This
series is both safe and simple to use,
with no risk of pressure build up in closed
hydraulic systems.
As exclusive distributors to the UK,
Tom Parker Ltd is delighted to now
offer FasTest’s product ranges to their
customers. Always a step ahead, Tom
Parker Ltd can be counted on to source
efficient, high quality, cost
effective products for their
customers.
