GLO-STICK^® Capsules

(U.S. Patent Number 5,167,140)

For small to medium size systems

Easy to use — Prefilled, disposable capsules allow dye to be injected into pressurized systems using refrigerant.

Clean and precise — The entire contents is washed into the system.

Choice of sizes — Available in 4 sizes/concentrations to match the capacity of the system.

Safe — Will withstand pressures of more than 1000 psi.

HOW IT WORKS: Connect the GLO-STICK capsule between the low-pressure gauge of a charged manifold and the service port using bleed valves. Open the valves slowly to gradually add AR-GLO® into the system and let the dye circulate. Scan the system with a Spectroline inspection lamp. The precise location of all leaks will be shown by a bright, yellow-green glow.

It’s easy to choose the right GLO-STICK capsule for your application. Simply read across the chart to locate your system’s refrigeration oil charge1, refrigerant, tonnage, or horsepower. Then read down to locate its lubricant type. The GLO-STICK capsule you need is shown where the column and row meet.

¹NOTE: Always use the refrigeration oil charge when it is known. Refrigerant charge, tonnage and horsepower are approximations.

* Use GS-3 series with all split systems, even if they are being used for residential applications and they hold less than 10 lbs of refrigerant.

** Most GLO-STICK capsules require the use of two BV-50 bleed valves (for use on 1/4 inch flare hose fittings). The exception is the GS-101/PAG designed for automotive R-134a/PAG A/C systems, which require two BV-75 bleed valves. The BV-75 is used on 1/2 inch Acme hose fittings.
