HVAC Leak Detection Spray
The Nu-Calgon 4182-24 Cal-Blue Micro Leak Detector is a pressurized spray bottle designed for HVAC technicians and maintenance professionals. It identifies refrigerant and gas system leaks by producing visible bubbles at the leak point. The one-quart container provides sufficient volume for multiple service calls and routine system checks.
Pressurised Application Limits
The detector uses a non-flammable propellant to deliver a consistent spray pattern without external power. Its liquid component carries a pH of 8.8 and a viscosity between 325 and 425 cPs, ensuring the solution clings to vertical piping and fittings. Storage above 120°F (49°C) or in direct sunlight will compromise canister integrity and detection performance.
Pre-Installation Checks
Verify that the system pressure is within the detector’s effective range before application. Confirm the work area is ventilated and that eye protection is available, as the supplier recommends shielding eyes during use. Ensure the canister has been stored in a cool, dry environment and has not exceeded the 120°F temperature limit prior to deployment.

Questions about this item
One-quart bottle or the 24-pack — which size fits a typical service van?
The 1 qt spray bottle is the standard field size; the 24 in the model number simply counts the bottles in a full case for shop stock.
What does the 8.8 pH reading mean when the foam hits a joint?
At pH 8.8 the liquid is mildly alkaline, so it will not corrode copper, steel or aluminium while still forming a stable bubble film that shows even micro leaks.
How does the pressurised can perform when the shop hits 120 °F?
The can is rated for storage up to 120 °F (49 °C); above that pressure rises sharply, so keep it out of direct sun and hot vehicle cabs.
