Professional Hydrostatic Testing with the Rothenberger RP30

The Rothenberger RP30 Pressure Testing Pump is a vital hardware tool for verifying the integrity of newly installed or repaired pipework. At ECO Heat Shop, we understand that a sustainable heating system is a sealed heating system. Even a minor leak can lead to significant energy loss and water damage; the RP30 provides the professional precision needed to ensure every joint is secure before commissioning.

Designed for the modern UK plumber and HVAC engineer, the RP30’s compact dimensions make it ideal for use in tight spaces. Its simple, single-valve operation allows for rapid filling and pressure testing of water and oil-carrying systems in residential properties.
