Your Complete System Provider for Leak Testing, Evacuation, and Engine Test Applications

When test performance depends on every connection in the system, individual components are only part of the answer. FasTest System Solutions deliver fully engineered, turn-key packages of sealing connection tools, matched and optimized to work together so your production line achieves consistent, repeatable results from day one.

Rather than sourcing connectors, hoses, gauges, and fixtures separately—and hoping they perform as a system—FasTest engineers design complete solutions tailored to your specific application. The result is faster cycle times, fewer false failures, better data, and less operator variation across shifts and facilities.

 

Why Leading Manufacturers Choose a System Approach Over Individual Components

In high-volume manufacturing, sealing connection performance directly impacts throughput, quality, and cost. Yet many plants still build their own test tooling piecemeal—mixing connectors from different suppliers, fabricating adapter plates in-house, and troubleshooting problems that stem from mismatched components rather than actual product defects.

A FasTest System Solution eliminates that complexity. Every component is selected, sized, and validated to work as an integrated system, which means:

  • Consistent seal quality across every port, every cycle, every shift

  • Reduced testing variation that masks real quality issues or creates false rejects

  • Ergonomic, operator-friendly tooling that improves takt time and reduces fatigue

  • Fewer in-house engineering hours spent designing, sourcing, and maintaining test tooling

  • Single-source accountability for system performance, replacement parts, and technical support

  • Data-driven process insights from integrated monitoring and SURE SEAL™ confirmation

The bottom line: your engineers should be focused on your products, not on designing and maintaining sealing tools. Leave that to FasTest.

Anatomy of a FasTest System Solution

Every FasTest System Solution is custom-configured by our applications engineering team. While the specific components vary by application, a typical system package includes:

  • Sealing Connectors: Application-specific leak test, fill, or evacuation connectors matched to your port geometry, pressure range, and media.

  • ICON™ Intelligent Connection Tools: Integrated SURE SEAL™ technology provides real-time seal confirmation, eliminating false failures and giving operators confidence in every connection.

  • Hose Assemblies & Manifolds: Pre-built, pressure-rated assemblies sized for optimal flow and minimal pressure drop across the system.

  • Mounting Hardware & Fixtures: Ergonomic tooling plates and fixtures designed for your station layout, reducing operator reach and cycle time.

  • Gauges, Sensors & Data Ports: Multiple data points integrated into the system for process monitoring, SPC, and traceability.

Documentation & Training: Complete operating instructions, maintenance schedules, and recommended spare parts lists delivered with every system.

SURE SEAL™: Seal Confirmation That Eliminates Guesswork

One of the most costly problems in production leak testing is the false failure—a test that flags a defect when the real issue is a poor seal at the connector. False failures waste cycle time, require re-tests, and in some cases lead to unnecessary scrap or rework of perfectly good parts.

FasTest’s patented SURE SEAL™ technology solves this by providing positive, tactile, and visual confirmation that a leak-tight seal has been achieved before the test begins. Built into ICON™-equipped connectors and system solutions, SURE SEAL™ gives operators and automated systems a clear signal that the connection is secure.

How SURE SEAL™ Benefits Your Operation:

  • Eliminates false failures caused by incomplete seals, reducing re-test rates and improving first-pass yield.

  • Improves takt time by giving operators instant feedback—no more “was that sealed?” uncertainty.

  • Reduces operator-to-operator variation so results are consistent regardless of who is running the station.

  • Provides data integration for systems that require digital seal confirmation as part of an automated test sequence.

EvacMax™ Evacuation Cart & Data Acquisition System

The EvacMax™ is FasTest’s fully automated, portable evacuation system designed for large-capacity commercial and industrial refrigeration applications. Built around ICON™ technology and optimized to work with CoreMax® and PortMax™ high-flow access ports, EvacMax™ cuts evacuation times in half compared to conventional methods.

Key Capabilities:

  • Hands-free, automated evacuation: Set target vacuum, start the process, and walk away. EvacMax™ manages the entire cycle.

  • Real-time monitoring: Track up to 6 vacuum gauges simultaneously with live progress displayed on the integrated user interface.

  • Automatic vacuum decay testing: Once the target vacuum is reached, EvacMax™ initiates a vacuum decay test. If the system fails, it automatically retries the cycle.

  • Data logging and export: Every evacuation is recorded to a downloadable data file for record keeping, process analysis, and compliance documentation.

  • Portable, durable design: Mobile cart with lockable storage cabinets, suitable for plant floors, installation sites, and field service.

  • Save up to 6 evacuation profiles for quick access across different system types and job sites.

Ideal Applications:

  • Industrial refrigeration (manufacturing, chemical, power plants)

  • Commercial refrigeration (grocery, supermarkets, office buildings, ice rinks, server farms)

  • Institutional refrigeration (hospitals, labs, schools)

  • Cold chain facilities

  • VRV/VRF systems with long tubing runs

  • Large air handler units

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q: What is a FasTest System Solution?

A: A FasTest System Solution is a complete, engineer-designed package of sealing connection tools configured for your specific leak testing, evacuation, or gas fill application. Rather than purchasing individual connectors and building your own tooling, a system solution provides matched components—connectors, hoses, fixtures, instrumentation, and documentation—that are validated to work together as an integrated system.

Q: How is a system solution different from buying individual FasTest connectors?

A: Individual connectors solve a single connection point. A system solution addresses your entire test station or application. FasTest engineers evaluate every port, consider the system’s flow requirements, select the right connector types, and design the tooling layout for ergonomics and cycle time. The result is optimized performance that you can’t achieve by assembling components independently.

Q: What industries use FasTest System Solutions?

A: FasTest System Solutions are used across automotive and EV manufacturing, HVAC-R, compressed gas, aerospace, medical device, appliance, and fluid power industries. Any application that requires consistent, repeatable sealing connections for testing, evacuation, or gas fill operations can benefit from a system approach.
