Component Test

NOTE: Never leak test an aluminum radiator in the same water that copper/brass radiators are tested in. Flux and caustic cleaners may be present in the cleaning tank and they will damage aluminum radiators.
NOTE: Clean the radiator before leak testing to avoid contamination of tank.
  1. Leak test the radiator in clean water with air pressurized to the maximum pressure listed. REFER to General Specifications .
