CRC ECO Leak Finder 500ml – Water-Based Gas Leak Detector

CRC ECO Leak Finder 500ml is a professional water-based gas leak detector designed to identify leaks in pressurized pipework and gas installations. It provides a simple and highly visible method for locating escaping gas without dismantling the system.

When gas escapes from a pipe, joint, valve, fitting or connection, CRC ECO Leak Finder forms visible bubbles at the exact leakage point. Therefore, technicians can quickly identify the source and take appropriate corrective action.

Its water-based formulation provides a practical solution for routine inspection and maintenance. In addition, the product meets EN 14291 requirements and carries DVGW registration number NG-5170AS0069.

How it Works

CRC ECO Leak Finder works through a simple bubble detection principle. When you spray the product over a pressurized connection, escaping gas pushes through the liquid film.

As a result, the product produces visible bubbles around the leak. The technician can then identify the exact location and inspect the connection for damage, loose fittings or inadequate sealing.

This method provides a quick visual indication without requiring complex electronic detection equipment.

Gas Leak Detection Applications

CRC ECO Leak Finder works with a wide range of pressurized gas systems. Typical applications include:

• Natural gas systems
• LPG installations
• Propane systems
• Butane systems
• Acetylene systems
• Oxygen systems
• Nitrogen systems
• Carbon dioxide systems
• Compressed air systems
• Refrigeration and HVAC systems
• Industrial gas installations

Always verify material compatibility and follow the applicable equipment and safety procedures before use.

Where to Use CRC ECO Leak Finder

The spray works well for checking common leakage points such as:

Gas Pipes and Pipelines

Apply the detector around pipe joints, connections and fittings to identify escaping gas.

Valves and Regulators

Inspect valves, regulators and pressure-control connections for visible bubble formation.

Threaded Connections

Apply the product around threaded joints where leakage may occur due to improper sealing or connection issues.

Pressure Systems

CRC ECO Leak Finder can help inspect suitable pressurized systems during routine maintenance and troubleshooting.

HVAC and Refrigeration Equipment

Technicians can use the product for suitable pressurized connections within HVAC and refrigeration maintenance procedures.

Benefits for Maintenance Professionals

Finding a gas leak early can help prevent equipment problems, gas loss and potentially hazardous operating conditions. CRC ECO Leak Finder provides a straightforward visual inspection method.

Furthermore, the visible bubbles make the leakage point easy to identify. This can help maintenance teams locate small leaks before they become larger problems.

The product also provides a convenient alternative when technicians need a quick inspection method during routine servicing.

Water-Based Formulation

CRC ECO Leak Finder uses a water-based formulation designed for practical leak detection. The product is non-corrosive and provides a low-residue approach for suitable surfaces.

Additionally, its biodegradable characteristics support more environmentally conscious maintenance practices. The formulation achieves 31% biodegradability according to OECD 301B, based on the supplied product information.

DVGW & EN 14291 Compliance

CRC ECO Leak Finder meets the requirements associated with EN 14291, a standard for leak detection fluids used with combustible gases.

The product also carries DVGW registration number NG-5170AS0069.

These credentials make CRC ECO Leak Finder a suitable option for professional gas leak inspection where applicable standards and procedures require compliant detection products.

Directions for Use

Step 1 – Prepare the Area

Make sure the system remains within the appropriate operating and safety conditions for the inspection. Clean heavy dirt or contamination from the area if necessary.

Step 2 – Shake the Product

Shake the CRC ECO Leak Finder container thoroughly before application.

Step 3 – Apply the Detector

Spray a thin, even layer over the pipe, fitting, joint, valve or other connection that requires inspection.

Step 4 – Check for Bubbles

Observe the treated area carefully. Escaping gas will create visible bubbles at the leakage point.

Step 5 – Repair and Recheck

After identifying the leak, carry out the appropriate repair according to the equipment manufacturer’s instructions and applicable safety procedures. Then repeat the leak test to confirm the result.

Safety & Handling

Use CRC ECO Leak Finder according to the product label, applicable safety regulations and the requirements of the system being tested.

Do not use the product as a substitute for proper gas-system safety procedures. Always follow appropriate precautions when working around pressurized or hazardous gases.

For oxygen systems and other specialized applications, confirm compatibility and follow the relevant equipment and industry requirements before use.
