Matco Tools Smartfit Universal Cooling System Test Kit (Part Number: SMART750K). It is a diagnostic tool used by automotive technicians to pressure test radiators, cooling hoses, and plastic reservoirs for coolant leaks.
Key FeaturesTrue Universal Design: Includes expandable elastomeric adapters that adjust to fit virtually 100% of passenger vehicles and light trucks, eliminating the need to buy specific standalone cap adapters.Complete System: Comes complete with a dedicated hand pressure pump, an integrated pressure gauge, and an adapter housing.High-Quality Build: Manufactured in the USA with professional-grade anodized aluminum, rubber, and solid brass components.
Standard Usage OverviewPreparation: Wait for the engine to cool down completely to prevent injury from hot coolant.Adapter Selection: Select the appropriate universal adapter diameter size and compress it into the filler neck of the radiator or coolant reservoir tank.Tighten & Seal: Tighten the adapter housing mechanism so the rubber expands outwards to form an airtight seal against the neck.Pressurize: Connect the quick-disconnect pump hose and pump the handle steadily. Pressurize the system according to the vehicle's specification—typically up to 15–20 PSI (do not exceed the pressure stamped on the vehicle's radiator cap).Check for Leaks: Monitor the gauge needle for 2 to 3 minutes. If the pressure needle drops, check hoses, connection joints, the water pump, and the radiator for visible dripping fluids.
