Your crossover tube connects them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swhitey917 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 where can i buy one of these kits ? This thread is a "how to" on making your own leakdown tester. All supplies can be purchased from hardware stores, wal-mart, etc to build your own tester. If you cant follow this simple how to, you could find a nice friend to do it for you I guess.

swhitey917 Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 250 bucks I know thats what I thought when he said that. If people pay that for them then I am in the wrong business Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figaro Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I know thats what I thought when he said that. If people pay that for them then I am in the wrong business I don't know about people but i wont pay that lol. the guy from wicked told me it is expensive because it is a complete kit with pump and all but he also said that this is the kind of tool shops use not individuals. thanks for the input bro i have a 4 hour exam tomorrow so i will be hitting the local utilities shop on Saturday and put this baby together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky_mtn_yamaha Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 Just thought I'd throw in there that theres a new product out there that we sell at my work called Spray Weld made by Jones Stephens Corporation. I work at a local Winnelson plumbing supply house. This stuff is still about 7 bucks a can but is cleaner/primer/cement all in one aerosol can. Pretty trick...our plumbers seem to like it. Also the rubber caps with hose clamps called jim caps are a way better option for plugging the exhaust side IMO. Spray Weld Jim Cap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swrbansheeboy Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 Man that spray weld is killer looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sootman73 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Here's an upgrade to the gauge used also that would make it easier to install and to read small pressure changes. http://www.mcmaster.com/?orderview=new#order-history/=gd42m3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
