- Cost, process and quality improvement- Instant threaded connections up to 5000 psi- Eliminate thread damage, sealant and wrenches- Modular design for squeeze lever, push button or pneumatic actuation

Instant Threaded Connections with Squeeze Lever, Push Button
or Pneumatic Actuation
FasTest’s patented FasMate FN and FX Series connectors make instant leak tight connections that significantly
decrease the time needed for pressure and vacuum testing, media filling or flushing and performance testing.
The split collet operation uses no thread sealant, wrenches and will not damage threads. FasMate’s rugged design
is ideal for production and is available in squeeze lever, push button and pneumatic actuation models.

Made in the USA

Cost, Process and Quality
Improvement
Since 1985, FasTest, Inc. has
manufactured quick test connectors
and valves that maximize efficiency,
productivity and profitability for theIndustrial Manufacturing, HVAC-R andCompressed Gas Industries.
Relying on our core engineering skills,
we have secured over 50 US andInternational patents that serve as thedesign platform for innovative productsthat enable our customers to achieve
testing, manufacturing process andproductivity improvements.
FasTest connector benefits:• Instant temporary, leak tightconnections, which are consistentand repeatable and standardize
operational processes• Reliable and secure connections
under dynamic high pressure
conditions• Increase production throughput andquality while dramatically reducing
operating costs• Eliminate testing bottlenecks, ideal
for automation to accommodatehigh volume production testing• Ready-to-use tools, so no morejury-rigged or homemade devices
that are often leaky, inadequate
and cumbersome• Wide range of standard andcustom products for different
connection profiles
Widely used in:• Manufacturing leak test, includingpressure decay, tracer gas, mass
spectrometerFeaturesBenefits
