Nu-Calgon 4182-08 Gas Leak Detector

The Nu-Calgon 4182-08 Gas Leak Detector is a high-viscosity, non-corrosive solution engineered for technicians performing leak detection on pressurized systems. Designed to create long-lasting bubbles, this HVAC leak detector liquid adheres to vertical surfaces and fittings, ensuring maximum contact time for the identification of even the smallest pinhole leaks. The formula is specifically optimized for use with all refrigerants, natural gas, and propane systems, making it a staple for HVAC gas leak detection. For technicians working in varied environments, this 1-gallon solution remains effective across a wide operating temperature range of 5?F to 220?F. Being oxygen-safe and formulated without corrosive chemicals, it will not damage metal piping or leave problematic residues on sensitive components. Furthermore, the fluid is compatible with UV inspection, as it will not affect or mask black lights. This professional-grade solution is a reliable choice for ensuring system integrity and preventing refrigerant loss in residential or commercial applications.

• High Viscosity Formula: Stays on the joint longer to identify slow, difficult-to-find leaks.
• Non-Corrosive Composition: Safe for use on copper, brass, and steel without risk of pitting or degradation.
• Fluorescent Compatibility: Does not interfere with ultraviolet leak detection methods.
• Broad Temperature Stability: Functions reliably from sub-freezing 5?F up to 220?F.
• Oxygen Safety: Can be used safely on oxygen lines and other high-pressure gas systems.

Is Nu-Calgon 4182-08 safe for use on polyethylene or CPVC piping?
Yes, this non-corrosive formula is designed to be safe for a variety of metals and plastics, though always recommend a quick wipe-down after the leak is located.

Can this leak detector be used in sub-freezing temperatures?
This specific formula is rated down to 5?F. If you are working in conditions colder than that, it may begin to thicken or freeze, necessitating a specialized low-temp solution.

Will the residue interfere with brazing or soldering?
While the formula is non-corrosive, it is best practice to clean the area with a damp cloth before applying heat to the joint to ensure a clean bond.
