$122.76The Story
The Rothenberger RP30 (MPN 61130) is a compact, fully manual hydrostatic pressure testing pump built for quick pressure and leak testing of small-bore pipework and vessels in sanitary and heating installations — including underfloor heating circuits. It delivers a 0–30 bar test range from a 4.5 litre corrosion- and impact-resistant ABS tank, drawing 16ml per stroke through a steel mesh–reinforced test hose that keeps readings accurate even under sustained pressure. Light, single-valve operation and a footprint of just 440 × 200 × 240mm make it a practical bench-or-van tool for plumbing and heating engineers working in confined plant rooms, lofts and risers.

Pressure Safety
Never exceed the 30 bar maximum test pressure. Always release pressure fully via the shut-off valve before disconnecting the test hose, and wear eye protection during testing — a worn or damaged hose, fitting, or test point can fail suddenly under load.
Before You Order
The RP30 is rated for water (including drinking water) and Tyfocor. 420psi and 440psi for the bar-to-psi conversion — 30 bar is the figure confirmed directly by Rothenberger, so treat psi figures as approximate. Confirm you have the correct R1/2" BSPT male adapters for your pipework before the pump arrives.
Typical Use
The RP30 is sized for domestic and light-commercial pre-commissioning leak tests — new pipework runs, cylinder and vessel checks, and underfloor heating manifolds — rather than large-volume industrial systems. For higher test pressures or larger tank capacities, Rothenberger's wider RP and TP pump range (e.g. the lower-pressure TP25, 0–25 bar with a 7L tank) covers adjacent jobs.
Why It Works This Way
Steel Mesh–Reinforced Hose
The test hose is wrapped in steel mesh to stop it expanding under pressure. An unreinforced hose flexes slightly as pressure builds, which reads as a false pressure drop and can mask — or fake — a leak on the system under test.
Reinforced ABS Tank
The corrosion- and impact-resistant ABS plastic tank has a reinforced base, so it tolerates being set down on scaffold boards, van floors, and uneven plant room surfaces without cracking.
Single Shut-Off Valve
A single valve handles isolation, simplifying the fill-and-test sequence so there's less to get wrong when working solo on site.
Compact Footprint
At 440 × 200 × 240mm the RP30 fits where bulkier bench pumps can't — useful in loft spaces, risers, and tight plant rooms typical of domestic retrofit work.
16ml Stroke Delivery
A 16ml-per-stroke pump action reaches working pressure faster than smaller hand pumps, cutting the number of strokes — and the arm fatigue — needed to test larger pipe runs.
Wide Operating Range
Rated from 1–60°C, the RP30 stays usable across cold winter site conditions through to warmer heating-circuit test temperatures.
