plumBOSS FAQ
What sizes do plumBOSS test plugs come in?
Test plugs cover a range of pipe sizes to suit residential and light commercial work, typically from 40mm up to 150mm diameter. You'll find options for common PVC and pipe diameters, making them handy for drains, waste lines, and sewer testing. The plugs use expandable rubber or inflatable bladders to create a seal, so you get flexibility across multiple pipe sizes with fewer individual pieces of kit. Check the specific model to match your pipe size before you buy; getting the right fit means a proper seal and no headaches on site.
How does a plumBOSS test bucket work?
A test bucket works by creating a controlled water column for pressure testing. You fill the bucket, connect it to the pipe you're testing, and the water head creates pressure to check for leaks. It's a simple, effective way to test new installs or repairs without needing a pump or complicated setup. Just gravity doing the work. Most buckets hold around 10-15 litres and can generate enough pressure for standard residential drain testing. You can adjust the height of the bucket to control pressure levels, making it dead easy to run tests that match council requirements or manufacturer specs.
Can I use plumBOSS products for sewer testing?
Yes, these products are designed for sewer and drain testing. The test plugs seal off pipes so you can run pressure or water tests to check for leaks, blockages, or installation faults. They're built to handle the conditions you'll find in residential and light commercial drainage work, making them a solid choice for final inspections or troubleshooting. The rubber components resist chemicals and waste materials you'd encounter in sewer lines, and the plugs hold pressure reliably during testing periods. Whether you're doing pre-handover checks on new builds or tracking down leaks in existing systems, this gear handles the job.
Are plumBOSS tools reusable?
Yes, these testing tools are built for repeated use. The test plugs and buckets are made from durable materials that handle regular site work, so you're not buying single-use gear. The rubber seals and plastic components stand up to multiple tests without degrading, as long as you're not forcing them into pipes that are too small or leaving them inflated for days on end. Just rinse them off after each job, and they're good to go again. Store them out of direct sunlight to keep the rubber in good nick, and check the seals occasionally for wear. Proper care means they'll last through plenty of tests without needing replacement.
