Tracerline 3pcs Mini-EZ R-1234yf/PAG Cartridge (TP9835-P3)

The Tracerline 3pcs Mini-EZ R-1234yf/PAG Cartridge (TP9835-P3) is an essential solution for accurately detecting leaks in modern automotive air conditioning systems. As the automotive industry transitions to more environmentally conscious refrigerants, R-1234yf A/C systems have become standard in many new vehicles due to their lower Global Warming Potential (GWP) compared to the older R-134a. This product is specifically formulated to meet the demands of these advanced systems, ensuring precise and efficient leak identification. Each cartridge contains a potent fluorescent dye that, once introduced into the A/C system, travels with the refrigerant and oil to any leak sites. When illuminated with a compatible UV light, the dye glows brightly at the exact point of the leak, making even the smallest escape routes visible. This capability significantly reduces diagnostic time and ensures that repairs are targeted and effective, helping to maintain optimal A/C performance and prevent costly refrigerant loss.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• R-1234yf and R-134a Compatibility: Specifically engineered for use in both R-1234yf A/C systems, which typically use PAG oil, and older R-134a/PAG systems, making it a versatile tool for various vehicle models.
• OEM-Grade Dye: Utilizes high-quality, water-based fluorescent dye that meets or exceeds SAE standard J2297, ensuring reliability and performance trusted by many automotive manufacturers.
• Single-Dose Convenience: Each 0.25 oz (7 ml) cartridge is precisely measured to provide a single dose, sufficient for servicing one vehicle’s A/C system, simplifying the application process and reducing waste.
• Bright Leak Indication: The dye produces a vivid green glow under UV light, allowing technicians to quickly and accurately pinpoint refrigerant leaks that might otherwise be invisible.
• System Integrity Preservation: Formulated not to alter the viscosity or lubricity of system lubricants, ensuring the long-term health and efficiency of the A/C components.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Dye Type: Fluorescent A/C Leak Detection Dye
• Refrigerant Compatibility: R-1234yf, R-134a
• Oil Compatibility: PAG (Polyalkylene Glycol)
• Cartridge Size: 0.25 oz (7 ml) per cartridge
• Number of Cartridges: 3
• What is included: 3 x Tracerline Mini-EZ R-1234yf/PAG Cartridges (TP9835-P3)

HOW TO USE:

1. Prepare the System: Ensure the vehicle’s A/C system is properly charged and operational before dye injection.
2. Connect Injector: Attach a Tracerline EZ-Ject™ dye injector (sold separately) to the low-side service port of the vehicle’s A/C system.
3. Insert Cartridge: Insert one 0.25 oz Tracerline Mini-EZ R-1234yf/PAG Cartridge into the EZ-Ject™ injector.
4. Inject Dye: Follow the instructions for the EZ-Ject™ injector to push the dye into the A/C system. This typically involves purging air from the injector hose and then slowly pushing the plunger to inject the dye.
5. Run A/C: Run the vehicle’s A/C system for a short period (e.g., 5-10 minutes) to allow the dye to circulate thoroughly throughout the system.
6. Inspect for Leaks: Using a compatible UV leak detection lamp (e.g., a Tracerline UV lamp), scan all A/C components, including hoses, fittings, compressors, condensers, evaporators, and service ports. Leaks will appear as a bright green glow.
7. Clean Up: After detecting and repairing the leak, clean any visible dye residue from the components.
