In HVAC systems, Texas Test Plugs provide convenient access for taking temporary pressure and temperature readings without needing permanent gauges or compromising system insulation.
Pressure and temperature readings are used to monitor efficiency, including problem diagnostics, in various HVAC components such as condensers, evaporators, and refrigerant lines.
Pump performance:
Located on either side of a pump to measure inlet and discharge pressure, which allows for the calculation of the pump’s operating pressure.
Hydronic systems:
Used in both hot and chilled water systems to monitor pressure and temperature.
Heat exchangers:
Installed to check the pressure and temperature on both sides of the heat exchanger.
Used to monitor air and gas lines.
System troubleshooting:
Provide a quick and easy way to take readings for diagnosis without needing to install permanent gauges.
