Description
1000 PSI Hydrostatic Test Pump for Valves, Fittings and Small Lines
Product Overview
Proving a valve or fitting at high pressure should not require hauling a large triplex test rig to the job. The Triple R HT113 is a 15 lb electric hydrostatic pressure tester that draws 1.5 A at 120VAC. This 1000 PSI hydrostatic test pump brings small test volumes to pressure immediately, and its stainless steel check valves help prevent pressure loss during the hold.
Key Features and Benefits of Triple R HT113 High Pressure Hydrostatic Test Pump
- Output on this high pressure hydrostatic test pump adjusts from 50 to 1000 PSI, so one unit covers low-pressure checks and full-rating tests. That leaves one less tool to carry.
- The 113C positive displacement plunger pump moves a fixed volume on every stroke, so pressure starts rising as soon as a small part is full. Valve and fitting tests start without a long wait.
- The glycerin-filled 2000 PSI gauge is rated to twice the pump's maximum, as Triple R recommends, and a gauge reads most accurately near mid-scale. Readings at 1000 PSI sit right in that range.
- At 15 lbs and 8.2 inches long, the unit fits on a bench or in a service truck. A standard 120V outlet powers it.
- Stainless steel wetted metal parts, a ceramic plunger, and Buna seals resist wear, and a hex wrench is the only tool needed to take the pump apart. Seal service stays quick when the time comes.
Choosing the HT113 by Test Volume
The Triple R HT113 delivers 0.25 GPM open flow (the flow with no system pressure). At that rate, a 5-gallon volume takes at least 20 minutes to fill, and a 50-gallon system takes over three hours. That makes this 1000 PSI hydrostatic test pump a fit for valves, fittings, short lines, and components. To fill larger piping before testing, the Triple R HT-454 delivers 4.5 GPM open flow.
Applications
Pumptec positions the Triple R HT113 for low flow, high-pressure testing of valves, lines, and fittings. It belongs on the bench next to other valve pressure testing equipment.
- Valves. A valve pressure tester only has to fill a small body cavity, which suits 0.25 GPM flow.
- Fittings and short lines. Fittings and short line sections reach test pressure without a long fill.
- Small components. A 1000 PSI hydrostatic test pump can bring small water-filled components to full test pressure on the bench.
Setup and Operating Notes
Any valve pressure test procedure with the HT113 should follow the operating cautions in the 113C manual:
- Do not run the pump dry or starve the inlet. Feed it from a filtered tank mounted above the pump or from a pressurized line.
- Open all valves before starting to avoid a pressure spike.
- Mount it in any position except with the pump head above the motor.
- Use a pressurized inlet for water above 130°F.
- Disconnect power before servicing, keep the unit out of rain and chemical spray, and never submerse it.
Flexible hoses on both ports reduce amp draw, noise, and vibration on this high pressure water test pump.

HT113 vs REED HTP1000
Each is a 1000 PSI hydrostatic test pump, but they suit different jobs. Compared with larger high-pressure testing equipment, both are small enough to carry by hand.
| Triple R HT113 | REED HTP1000 | |
|---|---|---|
| Operation | Electric, 120VAC, 1.5 A | Manual hand pump |
| Maximum pressure | 1000 PSI | 1000 PSI |
| Pressure setting | Adjustable, 50 to 1000 PSI | Set by hand pumping |
| Power on site | Standard 120V outlet | None required |
| Best fit | Repeat bench and field tests on small volumes | Tests where no power is available |
Choose the Triple R HT113 electric hydrostatic pressure tester for repeat tests where a motor keeps output steady. Choose the REED HTP1000 for sites without power.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is hydro testing dangerous?
Hydro testing is safer than testing with air, because water does not compress. Triple R notes that a pipe failing under water pressure means water on the floor, while a failure under gas pressure can be explosive. Follow the manual's cautions and never exceed rated pressure.
What size pressure pump do I need?
Size the pump by test pressure first, then by the volume it must fill. Triple R's rule divides capacity in gallons by pump GPM to estimate minimum fill time. A valve pressure tester like the HT113 suits small volumes, while larger systems need more flow.
How much force is 1000 PSI?
1000 PSI is 1,000 pounds of force on every square inch of surface. A 1000 PSI hydrostatic test pump applies that load across every inside surface of the part under test, so hoses, fittings, and plugs must be rated for at least that pressure.
What fluids can the HT113 pump?
Water. The HT113 is a high pressure water test pump, and the 113C manual says to contact your supplier before pumping any other liquid. Never pump flammable, caustic, or other hazardous materials, and keep fluid at or below 140°F.
Does the HT113 come with hoses?
No. The listing covers the pump unit with its 2000 PSI gauge. Hoses and fittings are purchased separately, sized for the 1/4" female NPT inlet and discharge ports and rated for the test pressure.
