Innerduct Pressure Test Kits

Innerduct Pressure Test Kit
Use the Innerduct Pressure Test Kit to pressure test the innerduct before setting up the Fiber Optic Cable Blower. The duct system must be able to withstand and hold 150 psi (10.3 bar) for the cable blower to work properly.

Why an Airtight Duct?
Duct integrity is essential for a successful cable blowing application. Leaks in the duct can lower pressure and greatly reduce installation distances. The duct system must be able to withstand and maintain 150 psi (10.3 bar) minimal leakage, the compressor will not be able to maintain pressure behind the cable carrier. This ultimately can reduce the pulling force of the cable carrier and can increase tractor drive pressure on the cable, resulting in increased cable stress.

Duct integrity should always be tested before attempting cable installation with the cable blower. The duct can be tested with a pressure test kit available from Condux or with the cable blower itself. Either way, an airtight duct system is an absolute necessity for cable blowing.

The main contributors to duct system leaks are the innerduct couplings. Condux recommends using one of the innerduct couplings that are posted with the Cable Blowing section in this website.
