Klein Tools Gas Tester ET160 Refrigerant Leak Detector (100 to 3000 ppm CFC HFC HCFC 18 Inch Gooseneck HVAC Automotive Diagnostics Pouch Leads)

Isolate Coolant Containment Fractures and Trace Halogen Vapor Scapes Instantly with Extended Gooseneck Condenser Tracking Telemetry

Shop the Klein Tools ET160 refrigerant gas leak detector engineered to locate halogen vapor escapes in confined cooling enclosures. This industrial sniffer maps compounds from 100 to 3000 ppm, utilizing an 18-inch flexible gooseneck probe to navigate around compressor fittings or hidden evaporator coils. Operating with dual sensitivity configurations, an automated baseline zero-calibration routine, and an EN14624:2020 certified compliance module, it isolates hazardous lines before catastrophic system discharge occurs.

Best Used For:

• Evaporator Coil Auditing: Sweeping copper u-bends and aluminum fins inside residential air handlers to trap hidden coolant micro-fissures down to 100 ppm.
• Automotive Climate Diagnostics: Navigating the flexible 18-inch arm around compact engine compartments to trace R-134a or blend failures near compressor seals.
• Commercial Cooler Inspections: Testing high-volume line couplings, valves, and manifold links within industrial walk-in refrigeration loops.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• 18-Inch Flexible Gooseneck: Extended structural arm contours cleanly around plumbing paths to reach tight valve clusters and deep ventilation cracks.
• Dual Threshold Sensitivity: Toggles manually between a high sensitivity track (100 to 1000 ppm) and a low safety envelope (200 to 3000 ppm).
• Multi-Sensory Alert Arrays: Proportional acoustic buzzer ticks match a tiered LED bar graph to blast active hazard indicators as density spikes.
• Auto Zero Calibration: Automated balance logic runs at startup to equalize ambient atmosphere baseline counts for consistent scanning accuracy.
• Polycarbonate Chassis Shielding: Hardened impact-resistant composite body housing passes drop validation testing on raw jobsite decks up to 6.6 feet.

What's Included

• ET160 Refrigerant Gas Leak Detector
• Protective Storage Pouch
• Four AAA Alkaline Batteries
• Instruction Manual

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Always power on the sniffer in a known clean atmospheric area away from the suspected climate loop; this ensures the auto-calibration cycle maps a genuine zero reference baseline to maintain sensor accuracy.
