General information
Dear customer, congratulations for purchasing a
Rothenberger product. The testing pump RP-50 has
been developed and designed to meet the highest
quality standards guaranteeing most stringent operation
requirements.
A number of unique design features make the pump
different from other testing pumps.
•
Double shut-off and purge valve system, to ease test
pressure adjustment.
•
Combined ball head and monoblock brass shut-off
valve system reducing risk of leaks in the system.
•
Distortion proof wear resistant polyamide piston.
•
Knock resistant weather and cold proof galvanised steel
tank protected with Duramant ® epoxy coating.
•
Pressure gauges with readily available calibration
certificates.
At present, a great number of installations for fluid-
carrying pipes can be found depending on the type and
nature of the pipe materials. These can be of metal: steel,

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
stainless steel, galvanised steel, aluminium, copper...,
plastic materials: PP, PE, PB, PVC, PE-X..., as well as
composite materials such as Multi-layer. All these types
of pipes can be joined as a function of the material and
the nature of the joint by means of welding, threads,
mechanical joints with bushings, using adhesives ...
No matter the nature of the joint, the type of material
and the fluid to be carried, any installation must be liquid-
tight, tests being required.
Testing pump RP-50 is a precision tool for testing
installation tightness using water or oil as testing liquid, a
maximum testing pressure of 60 bar being possible.
