Source for a Valve Test Stand?

[WB2GLP]

I'm looking to pick up a valve test stand like this one on Global's site.

Valve Stand, Regulator Test

Global only deals with brick and mortar shops which I am not. I don't seem to see any others online. Anyone selling one or able to point me in the right direction of someone that can?

Thanks!

Heyyyy...what would you think of using a tank?

 

[WB2GLP]

Yes, I could use a tank, but it would be a big waste of air and time since I only want to pressurize the valve for testing. No sense pressurizing the valve and a tank when I can just pressurize the valve by using the test stand.

There are only two sealing surfaces that have to hold back full tank pressure. A new oring should be installed and if need the seat replaced. Other than that everything else is serviceable under pressure. Are there times you are rebuilding a valve and not installing it on a tank? There are some tools that don't always make sense to me.

Peter,

I'm servicing multiple valves. Just want to make sure they work under pressure before installing on a tank.
