    TD5 expansion tank pressure tester

    Hey All,

    does anyone know the part number or can provide a link to the correct pressure test adapter for the TD5 expansion tank thread?

    Cheers,

    Adam

    I don’t know what the correct part number is but I had thought to modify a cheap after market cap the same shape as the original (i.e. not ****part), cut a 25mm hole in the outside cap, remove the cap valve and then screw a metal truck tyre valve with rubber washers to the inner cap. Measuring it up, it looks like it would fit straight in. Alternatively you should also be able to glue or screw a hose tail in I would think. Granted this is phaffing about and an-off-the-shelf would be easier.

    well given the flood of replies () and the fact I can't find anything about this anywhere else I've knocked up a 3D printed adapter to go between the closest test cap I have (#7 in the toolpro kit) and the TD5 expansion bottle. If someone finds this post looking for the answer and you have a need I'll share a link to the files on thingiverse once I've tested that it works properly.
