All fittings are molded from durable nylon and metal for shop use, and the kit includes gloves and a DIN adapter for common workshop air lines. Whether you need to pressure-test a charge pipe or introduce smoke for visual leak detection, the set covers the most common sizes technicians encounter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow do I use this kit to find a boost leak?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttach the stepped adapter that best matches the hose outer diameter, connect the gauge assembly to your workshop airline, and pressurize the circuit to a safe test pressure.
