Description
US PRO Tools 18-Piece Radiator & Coolant System Pressure Tester and Leak Detection Kit (Model 5260)
Product Overview
The US PRO Tools 5260 is a professional-grade, comprehensive 18-piece cooling system pressure test and leak detection kit engineered for accurate diagnostic work on modern automotive cooling circuits. Designed to quickly pinpoint internal and external coolant leaks—such as failing head gaskets, cracked cylinder blocks, leaking radiator cores, heater matrix failures, and weeping hose connections—this master kit saves diagnostic time by pressurizing the cooling system without running the engine.
Key Features & Specifications
-
Comprehensive Adapter Assortment: Includes a wide selection of color-coded, precision-machined aluminum and anodized test adapters designed to fit filler necks and expansion tanks across major European, Asian, and American vehicle makes.
-
High-Accuracy Hand Pump & Pressure Gauge: Equipped with a durable hand pump featuring an easy-to-read pressure gauge encased in a protective rubber housing, allowing technicians to monitor controlled test pressures accurately up to the manufacturer’s specified bar/PSI limit.
-
Quick-Coupling Connection System: Features quick-release fittings with self-locking mechanisms, enabling rapid, leak-free swapping of radiator adapters during testing.
-
Pressure Relief Valve: Integrated thumb-operated pressure release valve safely vents system pressure before disconnecting adapters, preventing hot coolant spray.
-
Organized Heavy-Duty Case: Housed in a robust blow-moulded storage case with custom-moulded compartments to keep every adapter, pump, and connector secure and organized in the workshop.
Core Workshop & Automotive Applications
-
Cooling System Leak Diagnosis: Pressurizing cold cooling systems to visually identify hidden leaks, weeping hose joints, and porous radiator cores before catastrophic engine overheating occurs.
-
Head Gasket & Cylinder Block Testing: Checking for pressure drop down-time to detect combustion gases leaking into the cooling system or coolant entering engine cylinders.
-
Thermostat & Radiator Cap Testing: Ensuring cooling components open and seal at their correct design pressures.
Software License & Updates
-
Standalone Equipment: This product is a physical mechanical automotive diagnostic test kit requiring no software updates or electronic licensing.
