They have gained this reputation by

Since 1985, FasTest has manufactured

industrial manufacturing, HVAC-R

have secured more than 50 US and
international patents for their state-ofthe-art products, which improve testing

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

sealing without the need for taping,
thread sealants or wrench tightening.
The TwistMate automatically seals

the test piece and the system is
pressurised with air, gas or hydraulic
pressure.
