Default Coolant Pressure Tester

Hey all, what do you use to pressure test your cooling system? I've found several on Amazon but unsure if the adapter caps will fit. Anyone have a recommendation on brand of pressure tester and adapter cap needed? Also, what pressure do we need to test the system up to; 20psi? 30psi?

TIA!

You should be able to rent one from an auto parts store, and the kit comes with several adapters.

I’m looking to buy a tester, If anyone has a kit they’d recommend, I’d appreciate the brand and part number(s).

I got a Mityvac MV4560 coolant system tester from amazon. not too expensive and the adapters fit perfectly. It also would fit on my other vehicles too.
