Detect AC Leaks with Confidence: Why the TEXA Forming Gas Kit Belongs in Your Shop
When it comes to A/C system diagnostics, guesswork is not an option. Whether you’re servicing a vehicle after a collision repair or troubleshooting a drop in cooling performance, identifying leaks quickly and precisely is critical — both for customer satisfaction and your bottom line.
That’s where the TEXA Forming Gas Kit with H₂ Detect comes in.
Tackle Micro Leaks Other Tools Miss
Traditional methods like nitrogen pressure testing or UV dye can leave you with more questions than answers:
- Nitrogen alone may show a pressure drop — but not the leak location.
- UV dye requires time, extra flushing, and often doesn’t pinpoint small or fast-dissipating leaks.
With TEXA’s Forming Gas Kit, you inject a 95% nitrogen / 5% hydrogen gas mixture into the system. Then, using the H₂ Detect sniffer, you can zero in on even the tiniest hydrogen molecule escaping — with visual and audible alerts that guide you directly to the leak source.
Hydrogen is the lightest, smallest molecule — making it ideal for tracking micro leaks in systems using R134a, R1234yf, or R744 (CO₂).
Built for Collision Repair & High-Precision A/C Service
If you’re recharging A/C systems without leak verification, you’re playing a risky game. Collision repairs often disrupt seals or lines — and the last thing your shop needs is a comeback. TEXA’s forming gas method:
- Meets Daimler AG requirements
- Is non-polluting and safe to use
- Works across multiple refrigerant types
- Detects even hard-to-find slow leaks before the system is recharged
