Mr. PEX 3700183 Pressure Test Fitting (Pressure Test Kit)
A Mr. PEX pressure test fitting used with compatible Mr. PEX manifolds to pressurize and monitor a radiant/hydronic manifold during system pressure testing.
Key Features
- Pressure test fitting for Mr. PEX manifolds with 100 psi gauge and air valve
- 1" size, threaded connection
- Application listed as Accessory
- Product type listed as Pressure Test Kit
- Manufacturer listing identifies it as a Pressure Test Kit, nominal size 1 NPT
Compatibility & Applications
- Listed as compatible with Mr. PEX Manifold applications.
- Must only be used where the manufacturer specifies this exact part number: 3700183, and where a 1" NPT pressure test connection is required.
Installation & Operation Notes
- Installation should be performed by a qualified hydronic/radiant installer or service technician.
- Reference the MrPEX radiant installation guidance for pressure testing procedure and safety practices.
- Ensure the connection type matches the manifold port and confirm the connection before applying sealants or tightening.
Maintenance & Troubleshooting
- This fitting is used specifically for pressure testing; issues are typically discovered during pressurization (leaks at threads/valve, or inaccurate readings).
- If leakage occurs, verify proper thread engagement and sealing method appropriate for the connection type, then retest. If the gauge/valve does not hold pressure or reads inconsistently, replacement is commonly the corrective action.
