Oil Pressure Testing Device

US Patent:

Filed:
Dec 15, 2004
Appl. No.:
11/013497
Inventors:
Thomas Shpakow - Littleton CO, US
International Classification:

Abstract:
A tap assembly and method for mounting on a compound of a fluid system to test fluid in the system employs a non-elastic yet flexible band adapted to extend around a portion of the shell of the component. A tap having a fluid passageway is disposed on the band. Pliers, a ratchet or other structure may used to tighten the band thereby to force the tap to penetrate the shell of the component and establish fluid communication with the fluid therein. In one embodiment, the band is formed as two connectible sections to allow adjustability in size. The assembly and method are especially used for measuring oil pressure in an oil filter.
