MicroLeak Detector RT175B Blu Brush On RefrigerationTech Leak Tool NSF

Description

Product Overview

The RT175B Big Blu Brush On MicroLeak Detector is engineered by Refrigeration Technologies to deliver pinpoint accuracy in identifying micro‑scale gas leaks. Housed in a compact 2.38 × 2.38 × 6.3 inch bottle that weighs only 0.01 oz, the device combines a high‑sensitivity detection chemistry with a convenient brush‑on applicator, allowing technicians to target hard‑to‑reach joints, valves, and fittings without disassembly.

Its formulation is NSF certified, guaranteeing safety for food‑contact environments and compliance with stringent industry standards. The non‑corrosive composition protects metal surfaces while remaining effective on a wide range of gases, from refrigerants to inert carrier gases used in manufacturing processes.

Designed for durability, the detector’s polymer‑based bottle resists impact and temperature fluctuations, ensuring reliable performance in both laboratory and field conditions. The product’s model number RT175B is clearly printed on the label, facilitating inventory tracking and warranty registration.

With a best‑seller rank of #29 in Leak Detection Tools on major e‑commerce platforms, the RT175B has earned a 4.6‑star rating from over 360 verified customers, reflecting its reputation for consistency, ease of use, and cost‑effective leak management.

Usage

Ideal for food‑processing plants, cold‑storage facilities, and industrial refrigeration systems, the RT175B excels in environments where even the smallest leak can compromise product quality or lead to costly energy loss. Technicians apply the brush‑on solution directly to suspect areas, allowing the detector to react within seconds and reveal leak locations through a visible color change.

Because the detector is safe for all gases, it is equally effective on ammonia, R‑410A, CO₂, and other refrigerants commonly encountered in HVAC and commercial refrigeration service. Its low‑volume application minimizes waste and reduces the need for extensive cleanup after testing.

For maintenance crews, the detector’s lightweight design means it can be carried in a tool belt or pocket, enabling rapid response during routine inspections or emergency troubleshooting. The clear labeling and intuitive usage instructions make it accessible to both seasoned professionals and newly trained staff.

When used in conjunction with standard leak‑testing equipment such as ultrasonic detectors or pressure decay gauges, the RT175B provides a complementary visual confirmation that enhances diagnostic confidence and reduces false‑positive results.

FAQ

What types of gases can the RT175B detect?

The detector is formulated to work with a broad spectrum of gases, including common refrigerants such as R‑410A, ammonia, CO₂, and inert carrier gases. Its universal chemistry ensures reliable detection regardless of the specific gas composition.

Is the detector safe for use around food products?

Yes. The RT175B is NSF certified, meaning it meets strict standards for safety in food‑contact environments. It will not contaminate food surfaces or introduce harmful residues.

How small of a leak can the RT175B identify?

The device can detect leaks down to 0.74 oz per year, which translates to a very low leak rate that is often invisible to other detection methods. This sensitivity helps prevent hidden losses.

Can the brush‑on bottle be reused?

The brush‑on applicator is designed for single‑use applications to maintain accuracy and prevent cross‑contamination. After the bottle is empty, it should be disposed of according to local regulations and a new unit used for subsequent tests.

What warranty does the RT175B include?

Refrigeration Technologies provides a one‑year limited warranty covering any manufacturing defects. Should a defect arise, contact our support team for a replacement or repair solution.
