OVERVIEW

Don't Let Leaks Drain Your Wallet

Every welder knows the frustration of running out of shielding gas in the middle of a job, but a silent leak in your system could be costing you money every single day. The ESAB Leak Test Solution is the quickest and easiest way to ensure your welding setup is tight and efficient. Whether you are setting up a new MIG welder, swapping out a TIG torch, or just changing a cylinder, a quick spray of this solution on your regulator and hose connections can save you from wasted gas and poor weld quality caused by atmospheric contamination.

Safety is paramount in any welding shop. Fuel gas leaks from acetylene or propane lines pose a serious fire hazard, while shielding gas leaks in confined spaces can be a safety risk. This leak detector is your first line of defense. Simply spray it on your fittings, valves, and connectors; if you see bubbles growing, you know you have a problem that needs tightening. It works far better than dish soap, which can actually corrode your expensive brass regulators over time. This fluid is designed to be safe on your equipment and stays put, even on vertical hoses, so you don't miss a thing.

Keep a bottle on your welding cart or in your maintenance locker. It is an inexpensive insurance policy for your equipment and your safety. From checking the seal on your flowmeter to verifying that your quick-connects are fully seated, this leak test solution gives you peace of mind. It works on all your standard shop gases, including Argon/CO2 mixes, pure Argon, Oxygen, and Acetylene. Stop guessing and start testing with a solution made specifically for the trade.

FAQ

Soapy water often contains salts and additives that can cause corrosion on brass and copper fittings over time. This dedicated solution is non-corrosive and formulated for better bubble retention.

It is effective on almost all compressed gases, including compressed air, nitrogen, argon, CO2, helium, propane, natural gas, and acetylene.

Generally, commercial leak test solutions for welding are designed to be compatible, but always check the specific bottle label for 'Oxygen Safe' certification before using on high-pressure oxygen lines.

Simply spray or dab the solution onto the connection or area you suspect is leaking. If gas is escaping, bubbles will immediately begin to form.

Yes, the formula is designed to create foam or small bubbles even with very low-pressure micro-leaks that might not be audible.

It leaves minimal residue, but it is good practice to wipe off the area with a clean rag after testing, especially on electrical components or precision equipment.

It is best used at ambient temperatures. Applying it to very hot welds or surfaces may cause the fluid to evaporate before bubbles can form.

Most leak detection fluids are non-toxic, but you should avoid ingestion and contact with eyes. Refer to the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for specific handling instructions.
