Leak detection tools and equipment

July 21, 2014
This issue, we're looking at what technicians look for when buying leak detection tools and equipment. These pages include quotes from technicians about their research and purchases, and a selection of products.

"For a thorough job, I use fluorescent dyes to go the extra mile to spot a leak the first time."

“With some smaller leaks now, the dye kits work real well. And I prefer 'bigger and better' UV lights because I don’t want to miss anything. With the higher wattage models, I get to see every little spot.”

“If you don’t have a smoke machine, you’re just guessing.”
