The bladder‐style vacuum test head is engineered for efficient vacuum testing of manholes and sealed chambers. With a lightweight aluminium frame and “Wide Bladder” technology, the unit fits a broad range of manhole diameters, reducing the need for multiple heads. The height‐adjustable support brace and Super Wingnut™ system enable quick setup and secure positioning. Included are a vacuum port, shut-off valve, 30″ Hg gauge and a vacuum relief valve — all working together to create a reliable seal, enable accurate vacuum measurement and help identify leaks or structural faults in underground infrastructure.
