OTC 6977 Cooling System Pressure Test Kit

OTC's Universal Cooling System Pressure Test Kit offers a truly universal approach to testing vehicle cooling system pressure. The tester adapts to cooling system hoses from 1/4" to 5/8" in diameter, allowing users to find a coolant hose connection and insert the adapter to match the hose diameter. The user can then couple the hand pump, which features an integrated gauge, to the adapter and proceed with the test. Once finished, the system pressure can be relieved by slowly loosening the cap on the 'degas' bottle.

The hand pump boasts an easy-to-read integrated pressure gauge, a padded base to set against vehicle surfaces without scratching, and a 36" integrated hose with a quick-coupler, mated to the adapters. The hose adapters utilize durable brass fittings and include a banded spring clamp for easy attachment. A radiator cap adapter with a quick connect fitting is also included for older vehicles. Each adapter incorporates a Schrader valve to prevent spray when disconnecting.

The comprehensive kit includes a blow molded storage case, a padded base that prevents damage to painted surfaces, replacement band clamps, and operating instructions (inside the lid). The tester is made in the USA, ensuring quality and reliability.

The hand pump's features include a raised, integrated gauge with an impact-resistant outer sleeve and a dedicated 36-inch pressure hose with a quick-connect coupler. This allows for quick and easy connections, enabling users to test cooling systems faster and more efficiently.

The kit includes four in-line hose adapters - 1/4 inch, 5/16 inch, 1/2 inch, and 5/8 inch - as well as a cap adapter, all with Schrader valves to reduce coolant loss and prevent spray. This versatile range of adapters ensures that the tester can accommodate a wide variety of cooling system hoses, eliminating the need to search for the right cap adapter.

Overall, OTC's Universal Cooling System Pressure Tester Kit offers a comprehensive and user-friendly solution for testing vehicle cooling system pressure. Its versatile design, durable construction, and included accessories make it a valuable tool for automotive professionals and enthusiasts alike.
