The Arctic Hayes PH Gas Detector and Brush (PH026) is designed for professionals and DIYers alike to detect microscopic gas leaks. Its primary benefit is the non-corrosive formula, ensuring it won't damage sensitive systems, unlike traditional soap solutions. A key consideration is that it detects leaks but does not quantify them. This product provides a safe and effective way to identify gas leaks with its specialized fluid and integrated brush applicator.

The Arctic Hayes PH Gas Detector and Brush is suitable for detecting leaks of natural gas, propane, and other common gases found in domestic and industrial applications.
No, the fluid is specifically formulated to be non-corrosive and is safe for use on brass, copper, and steel components.
Use the integrated brush applicator to spread a thin, even layer of the fluid over the suspected leak area. Apply liberally to joints, fittings, and connections.
Leaks are indicated by the formation of visible bubbles at the point where the gas is escaping.
While the fluid is non-corrosive to metals, its suitability for plastic pipes should be confirmed with the pipe manufacturer's specifications. It is primarily designed for metal gas lines.
Store in a cool, dry place with the cap tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and contamination. Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
When stored correctly with the cap tightly sealed, the fluid typically maintains its efficacy for several years. Refer to the product packaging for any specific expiration date information.
Ensure the surface is clean and dry. Reapply the fluid and check for sufficient gas pressure in the system. The leak may be microscopic; allow a few moments for bubbles to form.
This can happen in very dry or drafty conditions. Reapply the fluid more frequently or ensure the area is less exposed to air movement.
Gently clean the brush bristles with a damp cloth. If the fluid has dried, a small amount of water may help loosen it, but ensure the brush is dried thoroughly afterward.
Setup: No complex setup is required. The product is ready to use straight from the packaging. Ensure the cap is securely fastened when not in use.
Compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of gases, including natural gas, propane, and other common industrial gases. Safe for use on brass, copper, steel, and other metals commonly found in gas fittings and pipework.
Care: Store the detector and fluid in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the cap tightly closed to prevent evaporation and contamination. Clean the brush tip with a damp cloth after use if necessary, ensuring it is completely dry before storing.
