- Fill injector with UV dye or oil (up to 60ml capacity)
- Connect auto shut-off valve adapter to low-side service port
- Ensure A/C system is running or pressurised
- Twist handle slowly to inject desired amount into system
- Monitor injection amount (typically 1-2 oz for automotive A/C, more for larger systems)
- Disconnect injector when complete
- Allow dye to circulate through system (run A/C for 10-15 minutes)
- Use UV light to locate leaks (dye will fluoresce at leak points)
UV Dye Leak Detection Process
- Inject Dye: Use 53123-A to inject UV dye into A/C system
- Circulate: Run system for 10-15 minutes to distribute dye
- Inspect with UV Light: Use UV leak detection light to scan system
- Locate Leaks: Dye will fluoresce bright yellow-green at leak points
- Mark Leaks: Identify exact leak location for repair
- Repair: Fix identified leaks
- Verify: Re-inspect with UV light after repair
Refillable vs Disposable Injectors
Refillable (53123-A - This Model):
- Cost-effective for regular use
- Environmentally friendly - less waste
- Refill with your choice of UV dye or oil
- Professional quality construction
- Long-term investment for workshops
Disposable:
- Convenient for occasional use
- Pre-filled with dye
- No cleaning required
- Higher cost per application
The 53123-A refillable injector is ideal for professional workshops performing regular leak detection, offering significant cost savings over disposable injectors.
