Description and Specifications
The RIDGID Model 1450 Pressure Testing Pump is designed
®
to pressure test a wide range of fluid systems for leaks includ-
ing heating, compressed air, oil, fire sprinkler, and small bore
pipeline systems using water, oil or a mixture of water and
ethylene glycol.
The Model 1450 uses a variable lever-arm design and automat-
ic pressure holding valves to enable the user to easily pressur-
ize the system.

Inspection/Maintenance
Daily before use, clean equipment, including reservoir, and
handle to aid inspection and improve control. If needed, clean fil-
ter by removing from hose and flushing clean.
Inspect the pump for proper assembly, completeness, binding,
wear or damage. Make sure hose is in good condition with no
fraying, cuts or tears. If any problems are found, do not use until
corrected. Use only identical replacement parts when servicing.
Set-Up/Operation
1. Locate a clear, level, stable location for the pump, other
equipment and the operator.
2. Inspect the system to be tested and determine an appro-
priate connection point and test pressure.
3. Completely fill piping system with liquid. Purge air from sys-
tem.
4. Fill reservoir with enough liquid to cover inlet suction hose.
Only use clean liquids – debris can clog the filter and
damage the pump. Observe applicable safety precau-
tions for the fluids being used.
5. Close pressure relief valve and remove locking pin from
handle.
6. Securely connect outlet hose to the piping system. Do
not sharply bend or kink the hose.
7. Pump liquid into system until desired pressure is reached.
• Use long pump handle strokes to fill system (high vol-
ume, low pressure) Do not use handle extensions.
• Use short pump handle strokes to reach desired pres-
sure (low volume, high pressure).
Closely monitor pressure to avoid exceeding the
NOTICE
test/rated pressure. Pressure above the pump rating of 725
psi (50 Bar) will cause damage to the pump. Typically the nylon
tube (Figure 2) will rupture, protecting other system components.
