Patent ID: 7654287

Claim:
A finish slide for use with a pressure testing system for a pipe fitting having walls defining a fluid passage there through with a first diameter, and a recess extending around a circumference of the fluid passage, the recess having opposing walls spaced a first distance apart measured along a longitudinal axis of the fluid passage, the fitting having a port allowing external access to the recess sufficient to allow insertion of the finish slide into the recess, the finish slide comprising: a finish slide having a body portion configured to fit into and mate with the port of the fitting, the finish slide having a wall sized to fit in the recess and defining a circular opening corresponding to the first diameter; a first seal interposed between the port and the body portion and providing a fluid tight seal between the port and the body portion when the finish slide is inserted into the port, wherein the finish slide is tapered so the slide has a length measured parallel to the longitudinal axis near the body portion that is greater than a length measured parallel to the longitudinal axis near the recess.
