The Bailey Products 1985 Hand Bellows (UTTK9539) is designed for plumbers and contractors performing drain testing. Its key benefit is quickly identifying leaks in sealed pipes by monitoring pressure changes. A potential caveat is its specialized use, requiring a U gauge for accurate readings. This tool functions by pumping air into a sealed pipe system and observing if the pressure, indicated by a U gauge, returns to zero, signaling a leak.

Its primary function is to test sealed pipe systems for leaks by introducing air pressure and monitoring its stability.
Yes, you will need a U gauge to accurately measure the air pressure and detect any drops indicating a leak.
If the pressure indicated on the U gauge returns to zero quickly after pumping air, it signifies a leak in the tested section.
While primarily for drain testing (air pressure), it can be used on sealed pipe systems where air pressure testing is appropriate. Always follow local building codes and best practices.
With proper care and use, the bellows should provide reliable service for an extended period. Regular inspection and proper storage contribute to longevity.
It is a professional tool designed for tradespeople. While a knowledgeable DIYer could use it, understanding pressure testing principles and having the necessary U gauge is essential.
Ensure the bellows are properly connected to the U gauge and the pipe system. Check for any obstructions or blockages in the bellows or connection points. Verify the pipe system is adequately sealed.
This indicates a leak. Double-check all connections and joints in the pipe system for faults. If connections are secure, the leak may be within the pipe material itself.
The bellows may have been exposed to adverse conditions. Store in a temperature-controlled environment and avoid direct sunlight. If significantly degraded, consider replacement.
Setup: The Bailey 1985 Hand Bellows is designed to connect to a standard U gauge (sold separately) and directly to the pipework being tested. Ensure a secure connection to both the gauge and the pipe system to prevent air loss during testing.
Compatibility: This product is compatible with standard U gauges used for pressure and vacuum testing. It is intended for use on sealed pipe systems.
Care: After each use, wipe down the bellows with a clean, dry cloth. Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Inspect the bellows material periodically for any signs of cracking or wear.
