Leak-tight, secure connections for aerospace tubes, valves, engines, castings, and assemblies. Quick-connect sealing tools rated to 10,000 psi (689 bar) that eliminate thread damage, sealant, and wrenches from your test process.
Aerospace manufacturing and MRO demand the highest standards of test accuracy, repeatability, and documentation. Every tube assembly, casting, hydraulic component, fuel system part, and engine sub-assembly must be verified to exacting specifications before it enters service—and the connection tooling used in that verification must be as reliable as the components it’s testing.
FasTest aerospace connectors are designed for this environment. Our quick-connect sealing tools attach directly to aerospace tubes, fittings, flanges, ports, and valve connections without wrenches, thread tape, or sealant—eliminating the thread damage, contamination risk, and inconsistent seals that traditional threaded test connections introduce. With pressure ratings up to 10,000 psi (689 bar), compatibility with aerospace fluids and gases, and custom engineering for non-standard port geometries, FasTest provides the connection tooling that aerospace manufacturers and MRO facilities rely on for accurate, repeatable aerospace leak testing and aircraft component testing.
Whether you’re proof testing hydraulic tube assemblies, leak testing castings for porosity, performing fuel system flow verification, fuel flow testing, calibrating pitot-static systems, or testing engine components, FasTest has the standard and custom aerospace connectors and aerospace tube connectors to improve your testing process.
Ergonomic designs reduce stress injuries and improve productivity. A perfect connection to any type of aerospace testing application.
Designed for high volume production testing with test pressures up to 10,000 psi (689 bar).
Connect and seal instantly.
Test more, quicker.
Easy-to-use Connector operation - no wrenches, tape or sealants for a leak tight seal.
We transform connection tools into tailor-made solutions to fit your exact requirements. Our Team of engineers will work with you to identify and design the optimal Connection Tool for your testing needs. Having difficulty sealing a unique port? Issues with clearance? Work with our dedicated team of Custom Experts to build your perfect solution.
ICON™ brings process automation and traceability to aerospace test stations. For aerospace manufacturers running automated or semi-automated test cells, ICON™-equipped connectors provide digital seal confirmation (SURE SEAL™) that verifies a leak-tight connection before pressurized media is introduced—a safety and quality advantage at any pressure, but especially critical at the 3,000–10,000 psi levels common in aerospace hydraulic testing.
ICON™ also supports the traceability requirements of aerospace quality systems by outputting real-time connection status data for process documentation, step completion confirmation for multi-port test sequences, and digital records that support AS9100, Nadcap, and customer-specific quality documentation requirements.
