KANE-RGD Refrigerant Gas Leak Detector
The KANE-RGD Refrigerant Gas Leak Detector is designed to locate refrigerant gas leaks across a range of CFC, HFC and HCFC refrigerants.
Using a solid-state semiconductor sensor, it provides a detection level of 10 g/year based on R134a. A flexible gooseneck probe helps access confined or difficult locations, while the variable audible tic rate and multi-coloured LED indicators provide clear feedback during leak detection.
The KANE-RGD is a refrigerant leak detector rather than a gas concentration meter. It is designed to locate refrigerant leaks and does not measure gas levels.

Why Choose the KANE-RGD?
The KANE-RGD combines fast response with audible and visual indication for refrigerant leak detection.
A 430 mm flexible probe provides additional reach, while the integrated tip light assists when working in areas with limited visibility. The detector has a 20-second warm-up time and responds in less than one second.
Powered by two AA alkaline batteries, it provides more than 12 hours of typical battery life and supports continuous operation.
