Rothenberger RP 30 Pressure Testing Pump 0-30 bar, R 1/2 inch Connection, 16 ml per Stroke

Plumbers and heating engineers rely on the Rothenberger RP 30 to verify the integrity of pipework before commissioning. Fill the 4.5-liter steel tank with water, oil, or glycol, connect the high-pressure hose to a R 1/2" test point, and operate the manual piston pump to pressurize the system up to 30 bar. The double valve system and brass pump body ensure smooth, controlled pressure buildup, while the class 1.6 gauge provides accurate readings for leak detection.

Why choose it

The RP 30 combines a robust brass piston pump with an ergonomic plastic handle for comfortable manual operation. Its double valve system minimizes effort per stroke, and the 16 ml suction volume allows fine pressure adjustments. The high-pressure hose with connection thread R 1/2" fits standard test points, and the steel tank resists corrosion from oil and glycol. The class 1.6 pressure gauge ensures reliable readings, making this pump a durable choice for daily professional use.

Ideal use cases

• Pressure testing of water, heating, and gas piping systems
• Leak testing of containers and vessels
• Commissioning checks for plumbing installations
• Service and maintenance tasks in HVAC and plumbing

Good to know

The RP 30 is a manual piston pump, so no power source is required, making it suitable for on-site work. The high-pressure hose is included, and the pump is designed for use with water, oil, or glycol. The operating temperature range is 5°C to 50°C, ensuring reliable performance in typical working conditions.
