KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:
- Professional-Grade Detection: Engineered for precise detection of refrigerant leaks in automotive air conditioning systems.
- High Visibility: Fluorescent green dye glows brightly under UV light to reveal leak points.
- Universal Compatibility: Works with R-134a, R-1234yf, and other common refrigerants; safe for EV/Hybrid systems.
- Efficient Use: One 1 oz bottle services up to four vehicles.
- System Safe: Will not alter lubricant properties or affect system performance.
- Compliant: Meets SAE J2297 standards for refrigerant leak detection.
- Eco-Friendly Packaging: Packaged in full-color, environmentally conscious materials.
SPECIFICATIONS:
- Container Size: 1 oz (30 ml) bottle
- Dye Color: Fluorescent Green
- Compatibility: R-134a, R-1234yf, and other widely used refrigerants; safe for EV/Hybrid systems.
- Service Capacity: Services up to 4 vehicles per bottle.
- Standards: Meets SAE J2297 standards for refrigerant leak detection.
- Included in Product: 1 oz (30 ml) bottle of universal A/C dye.
HOW TO USE:
- Prepare the System: Ensure the A/C system has some refrigerant pressure. If the system is completely empty, it may need a small charge to circulate the dye.
- Add the Dye: Use an appropriate application syringe and coupler (sold separately) to inject the 1 oz of dye directly into the low-side service port of the A/C system. Follow the instructions for your specific injection tool.
- Circulate the Dye: Run the vehicle’s A/C system on high for at least 10-15 minutes (or as recommended by your vehicle’s manual) to allow the dye to thoroughly mix with the refrigerant and circulate throughout the system.
- Inspect for Leaks: Using a UV leak detection lamp (sold separately), thoroughly inspect all A/C components, hoses, fittings, and connections. Pay close attention to compressor seals, evaporator drain tubes, condenser fins, and O-rings.
- Locate the Leak: Any areas where refrigerant is escaping will show a bright fluorescent green glow under the UV light, clearly indicating the leak’s location.
- Clean Up: After locating and repairing the leak, it is recommended to clean any visible dye residue with a suitable dye cleaner/remover.
