Vacuum Leak Detector for 1/4 to 3-Inch Outer Diameter Tubes

www.tcwilson.com

The Vacuum Leak Detector can be used with accessory parts, including the Wilson Tube Plug Snap for 3/8 to 2-inch (9.5–50.8 mm) Outer Diameter. Additional nozzles are available from 1/4 to 3-inch (6.4–76.2 mm) Outer Diameter and nozzle extensions are available from 5/8 to 2-inch (15.9–50.8 mm) Outer Diameter.

How It Works

One person can easily do the job. He or she just seals the far end of each tube with a snap-type tube plug, presses the Vacuum Leak Detector''s rubber-coated nozzle into the near end of the tube and depresses the trigger. Compressed air flows through a venturi chamber to produce a vacuum in the tested tube. When this vacuum reaches a satisfactory level, he releases the trigger. A steady gauge reading indicates a good tube. A falling vacuum indicates a leaky tube. Using 90 psi dry, clean air, it only takes six to eight seconds to test a typical tube (1-inch Outer Diameter x 20 gauge and 20 feet long) with the Vacuum Leak Detector. The tool weighs 2 1/4 lbs. and is equipped with a muffler, so it operates quietly even in confined areas.
