The de-shedding tool includes a brush base with a plurality of bristles. The de-shedding tool further includes a perforated plate, having a plurality of perforations, wherein each of the perforations is dimensioned to accommodate one of the plurality of bristles.

Abstract: A leak testing device to be positioned between two adjacent conduits comprises a generally cylindrical body defining a recess therethrough and including first and second end portions for cooperating with the respective end portions of two adjacent conduits. The body includes an opening between the first and second end portions. A sealing door is provided to be positioned in the opening. A diaphragm member including a through hole is provided to be positioned within the body. A valve is operably connected to the diaphragm member for selectively opening or closing the through hole to thereby permit or restrict the flow of a fluid between the two conduits. The opening in the body receives the diaphragm member when leak-testing a conduit, or the sealing door when connecting the two conduits in a fluid communication.
