Finding A/C Leaks a 'Snap' with New Leak Detection Kits from Snap-on®

Two Kits Provide Choice of UV-only or Combination UV-Electronic Detection KENOSHA, Wis., June 11, 2003 - Automotive technicians have a new choice in air conditioning leak detection equipment with the introduction of two new A/C Leak Detection Kits from Snap-on Tools Company. Available now through early fall, the kits provide users a complete solution to help "keep cool" during the hot summertime season. The new ACTCOMBO kit offers both electronic and ultraviolet leak detection in one complete set. After injecting dye in the A/C system, the included ACT755 detector 'sniffs' for refrigerant gas leaks while the UV dye-enhancing light visually identifies the leaks. The UV dye left in the system helps locate leaks again later, after the car has been driven - an added feature that helps locate hard-to-find flex-leaks. The ACT755 detector senses refrigerant gases at levels as low as 0.1 ounce per year. Its selective gas detection prevents false alarms from other compounds while resisting sensor contamination from refrigerant exposure. The detector's flexible 6-inch probe with the unique, built-in dye-enhancing light combines with an electronic processor to detect leaks that are intermittent or difficult to locate. Tri-color LED's indicate the size of leaks, while touch-key controls enable the user to reset the detector and adjust its sensitivity. The detector offers instantaneous response time, one-second reset and continuous duty cycles. Warm up time takes only two to three seconds. In addition to the ACT755 detector, the ACTCOMBO kit includes a UV dye injector with 25 applications of A/C dye, R134a connection hose, R12 refrigerant adapter, 25 information labels, dye cleaner, UV enhancing glasses, user manual and protective carrying case. The detector operates for up to 30 hours on two "C" alkaline batteries, and its sensor tip provides approximately 20 hours of use before requiring replacement. When UV technology alone is sufficient, the new Snap-on® ACTUVQUADKT A/C Leak Detection Kit delivers an accurate and easy-to-use solution. The 12-inch flexible wand features four ultra bright LED UV lights, which enhance UV dye leaks. An easy, one-turn-per-application mini dye injector helps reduce dye waste. Users will appreciate the comfortable ergonomic design of the detector's grip. The Snap-on® ACTUVQUADKT A/C Leak Detection Kit also includes UV enhancing glasses, 10 applications of A/C dye, R134a connection hose, R12 refrigerant adapter, 10 information labels, one ounce of coolant dye and one ounce oil/fuel/ATF. Replacement dye cartridges also are available.
