Radiator Pressure Tester & Vacuum Cooling System Kit

Brief Overview

This cooling system diagnostic kit is engineered for rapid head gasket failure detection by measuring CO2 contamination in the cooling fluid—a direct indicator of combustion gas intrusion. Mechanics and technicians rely on this method to isolate gasket leaks without disassembly. The kit pairs with fuel injection system diagnostic equipment and oil pressure testing tools to create a comprehensive engine health assessment toolkit for your shop.

What's Included

• CO2 Detection Chamber: Dual-chamber design with integrated filter and universal radiator cap connection
• Hand Pump: Manual suction device for extracting gas samples from the cooling system
• Reaction Medium: 250 ml container with color-change liquid for CO2 detection
• Waste Container: Dedicated collection bottle for spent fluid (reusable if reaction medium remains unused)
• Quick-Coupling Connections: Precision fittings ensure tight seals and accurate measurements
• Three Universal Radiator Cap Adapters:
  • Adapter 1: Mercedes-Benz, GM (Buick), Jeep
  • Adapter 2: Peugeot, Subaru, Chrysler, Acura, GM (Nova, Spectrum, Sprint), Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, Toyota, Infiniti, Geo, Suzuki, Isuzu, Ford
  • Adapter 3: Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, Mitsubishi, Chrysler, Acura
• Protective Carrying Case: Molded blue hard plastic case with integrated handle and secure latching system

Key Features & Technical Advantages

• CO2-Based Detection: Combustion gas intrusion is a reliable indicator of head gasket failure; no guesswork required
• Non-Invasive Diagnosis: Test without engine disassembly or cooling system drain-down
• Multi-Vehicle Coverage: Three adapters cover the vast majority of domestic and import vehicles in North American service
• Reusable Reaction Medium: Fluid can be reused multiple times if no contamination is detected, reducing consumable costs
• Portable & Organized: All components secured in a single carrying case—ready for job sites or multi-bay diagnostics
• Quick-Coupling Design: Eliminates pressure loss and ensures consistent, repeatable measurements

Business Advantages for Resellers

• High-Margin Diagnostic Tool: Head gasket diagnostics command premium labor rates; this kit pays for itself on the first job
• Essential Service Add-On: Cooling system diagnostics are frequently paired with engine overhaul or head work—natural upsell opportunity
• Durability: Brass fittings and precision plastic chambers withstand repeated daily use in busy shops
• Minimal Training Curve: Mechanics already familiar with cooling systems can operate this kit with minimal instruction
• Bulk Order Appeal: Equipping multiple bays requires multiple kits; standard recommendation for shop upgrades
• Reusable Components: Unlike single-use diagnostic tools, this kit generates repeat fluid purchases (low-cost, high-frequency consumable)

Why This Matters to Your Customer Base

Head gasket failures are silent killers in the cooling system—visible only through contamination detection. This kit gives technicians the confidence to diagnose with certainty, not assumption. The portable design means shops can invest in a single kit (or multiple for fleet operations) and deploy it across all bays. For resellers, this is a high-confidence product recommendation: mechanics know they need cooling system diagnostics, and this kit directly addresses that need without requiring expensive electronic gauges.
