Appointed distributor
15 March 2016
Tom Parker has secured a UK distributorship with US company, FasTest, further strengthening its portfolio.

FasTest manufactures a wide range of quick test connectors and valves for the industrial manufacturing, HVAC-R and compressed gas industries. It has secured more than 50 US and international patents for its products.
FasTest’s FE and FI Connector Series were designed to improve automated product testing and provide fast, leak-free connections for testing vacuum and pressure applications, fluid filling and flushing. The connectors, suitable for use with air, gas or liquid, are manufactured with a high performance seal material and are highly adaptable for pick and place robotic systems. They are easy to use, hardwearing, reliable and suitable for testing to 500 PSI.
Another of FasTest’s key product lines, the TwistMate Series, provides easy connection of internal and external threads and compression fittings, featuring a special hand tight twist to connect feature. It is suitable for vacuum and pressure test applications up to 10,000 PSI and provides seal vacuum to 5000 PSI. With a highly durable, stainless steel construction, these connectors can withstand demanding production environments, ensuring leak-proof sealing without the need for taping, thread sealants or wrench tightening.
The TwistMate automatically seals when the main seal is pressed against the test piece and the system is pressurised with air, gas or hydraulic pressure. This greatly reduces the number of test errors that lead to product loss, damage repair costs and time wastage. This series is both safe and simple to use, with no risk of pressure build up in closed hydraulic systems. As exclusive distributors to the UK, Tom Parker Ltd is delighted to now offer FasTest’s product ranges to their customers. Always a step ahead, Tom Parker Ltd can be counted on to source efficient, high quality, cost effective products for their customers.
