I guess the market for R-12 "secondary" products is really drying up fast, too. No ideas on sealants here- if it leaks, I fix it rather than goop it anyway. > > Cryochem doesn't make an R12 sealant! > > Who does? > > tnx > > Wow, they did just about a year or two ago! I guess the market for R-12 > "secondary" products is really drying up fast, too. Most likely because they plug up recovery equipment. > No ideas on sealants here- if it leaks, I fix it rather than goop it anyway. ^^^ Agreed. > Where can I find some R12 sealant? > tnx Look for a product called Quest R12/R22 Super Seal (do a google search). NAPA stores also have an R12 leak stopper kit, can't remember the brand. NAPA no longer carries R12 sealer, but I'll google for Quest. tnx Signature73 Hank WD5JFR > >> Where can I find some R12 sealant?

Steve's advice was sound: Fix the leak instead of gooping it up. >>NAPA no longer carries R12 sealer, >Steve's advice was sound: Fix the leak instead of >gooping it up. How are those sealers supposed to work without affecting things like expansion valves, orfice tubes, and piston seals? I once talked a neighbor out of switching from R-12 to a legal drop-in replacement that included a non-curing silicone rubber sealant. I told him it would be better to replace the metal-metal hose connectors on the condenser. > How are those sealers supposed to work without affecting things like > expansion valves, orfice tubes, and piston seals? By reacting only with air. That's why they're only effective and non-damaging when installed in systems that have been completely evacuated and had a new filter-dryer installed. Otherwise they just make an expensive mess. And in most cases, as long as you're going to evacuate the system, you may as well just fix the leak properly. > I once talked a > neighbor out of switching from R-12 to a legal drop-in replacement There is no such thing as a "legal drop-in replacement" refrigerant. |
