Packaging: pack of 1

Sorry, product has been discontinued by the vendor.

OVERVIEW

Professional Nitrogen Leak Detection & Purge Kit

The Victor Leak Detector Kit (W/O Cylinder) is an essential tool for HVAC technicians and industrial maintenance professionals. Designed to facilitate the pressure testing and purging of refrigeration and air conditioning lines, this kit ensures system integrity by utilizing dry nitrogen. Nitrogen purging is a critical step in the installation and repair process, displacing oxygen and moisture to prevent oxidation during brazing and to verify that the system is sealed tight against leaks.

This kit typically features a robust Victor high-pressure regulator designed specifically for nitrogen gas (CGA 580 connection). The regulator allows for precise control of outlet pressure, enabling technicians to pressurize lines to the manufacturer's specified test limits safely. The included hose and handle assembly provide the reach and flexibility needed to access service ports in tight spaces. By using this kit, professionals can confidently identify leaks in coils, joints, and fittings before charging the system with expensive refrigerants.

Key Technical Benefits:

  • Precision Control: The regulator is engineered to handle high inlet pressures from nitrogen cylinders while delivering stable output.
  • Durability: Built with brass components and heavy-duty hoses to withstand the rigors of daily field use.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of HVAC/R applications, from residential split systems to commercial refrigeration units.

Please note that the nitrogen cylinder is sold separately. This SKU (60F35) refers to the hardware kit only. Ensure you have a compatible nitrogen tank with a CGA 580 valve to utilize this equipment immediately upon arrival.

FAQ

No, this kit includes the regulator, hose, and testing hardware. The nitrogen cylinder must be purchased or rented separately.

The regulator is equipped with a CGA 580 inlet connection, which is the standard for nitrogen and inert gas cylinders.

Yes, the regulator allows you to set a very low flow rate, which is perfect for displacing oxygen inside copper lines while brazing to prevent oxidation scale.

While specific regulator models vary, most Victor nitrogen purge regulators are capable of delivering test pressures suitable for standard HVAC requirements (often up to 400-500 PSI). Always check the gauge on the specific unit.

Yes, the kit typically comes with a service hose designed to connect the regulator to the system service port or blow gun.

No, this regulator has a CGA 580 connection for Nitrogen/Argon/Helium. CO2 cylinders use a CGA 320 connection and require a washer. Adapters exist but are not recommended for high-pressure testing without proper rating.

Purging removes moisture and oxygen. Oxygen causes scale inside the pipe when brazing, which can clog the expansion valve. Moisture can freeze or create acid in the system.

Yes, the kit is used on the piping itself. Since R410A systems operate at higher pressures, this high-pressure nitrogen kit is ideal for testing those lines.
