OVERVIEW

Ensure Safety and Efficiency with Cantesco Leak Detector

Every welder knows that a gas leak is more than just an annoyance—it's a direct hit to your wallet and a serious safety hazard. Whether you are losing expensive Argon shielding gas through a loose hose clamp or risking a dangerous Acetylene buildup from a faulty regulator, leaks are the enemy of a productive shop. The Cantesco 365-08 Leak Detector is your first line of defense. This 8-ounce bottle packs a powerful, professional-grade solution that instantly reveals leaks that you might otherwise miss. Forget about mixing up messy cups of dish soap and water; not only is that inconvenient, but household soaps can also contain chemicals that corrode your expensive brass fittings or leave behind sticky residues that attract dirt and grime.

The standout feature of this leak detector is its Oxygen Compatibility. If you are running an oxy-acetylene torch, you know the golden rule: keep oil and grease away from oxygen. Using the wrong testing fluid on an oxygen line can be disastrous. Cantesco has formulated this compound to be 100% safe for use on oxygen lines, giving you peace of mind when you are checking your cutting rig. But it's not just for oxygen; it works perfectly on all your welding gases. Use it to check your MIG welder's gas solenoid, your TIG torch's back cap, or your shop's entire manifold system. If gas is escaping, this fluid will bubble up immediately, showing you exactly where to tighten or replace a part.

Using the Cantesco 365-08 is incredibly simple. Just apply the fluid to any connection, joint, or hose section you suspect. If there's a leak, you'll see bubbles form instantly. It's a quick, cheap insurance policy for your equipment. A single 8oz bottle lasts a long time and fits easily in your welding cart or toolbox. By making leak checks a regular part of your setup routine—especially after changing cylinders or swapping out torches—you ensure that your shielding gas coverage remains perfect for high-quality welds and that your shop environment stays safe. Don't let invisible leaks ruin your welds or endanger your crew; grab a bottle of Cantesco and keep your system sealed tight.

FAQ

Yes, the Cantesco 365-08 formula is specifically designed to be oxygen compatible, making it safe for testing oxygen regulators, hoses, and cylinders without risk of combustion.

It is compatible with all common industrial gases, including Oxygen, Acetylene, Propane, Argon, CO2, Helium, Nitrogen, and compressed air.

Apply the fluid directly to the connection or area being tested using the bottle's applicator or a dauber. Watch for the formation of bubbles, which indicates a leak.

No, unlike some household soaps, this industrial formulation is non-corrosive and safe for use on brass, stainless steel, copper, and other common fitting materials.

This is a standard temperature formula intended for use in conditions above freezing (32°F / 0°C). For sub-freezing applications, a low-temperature specific formula would be required.

The formula is designed to be clean and leave minimal residue. Any excess fluid can be easily wiped away with a cloth after testing.

Yes, you can use it to check the gas connections at the feeder and the gun, but avoid getting fluid inside the liner or contact tip area where it could contaminate the weld.

The fluid has a surface tension optimized to detect even very small micro-leaks by forming visible foam or bubbles that persist long enough for inspection.
