I posted this last year, heating season is here again. These are big cracks, a tiny one you would not be able to hear would still be dangerous. These are not accident damaged. If you have a set on your car, grab the carbon monoxide detector from home and take a ride with the heat on and windows rolled up. There is a detector used in small aircraft also available. The last photo is how we now test for leaks using air pressure. Brad

Just assuming here, but is the washer/rubber dongle for a compression seal fitting for the opposite end of the hookah? If so, where did you source the rubber puck? Also, what's the max pressure for the volume and an acceptable drop over "?" Time? Sorry for the soliloquee(sp)... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) Dave Or in the plumbing section. aka wing nut test plug. These are great detectors and affordable. They start at $3-$4. http://www.aircraftspruce.com/search/search.php |
