Big Blu: The Best Micro Leak Detector Around

Made in America and engineered by HVAC technicians and industrial chemists, Big Blu is by far the best micro leak detector you can buy in liquid form.

119 Viper Big Blu ProductsContaining 32 ingredients, including an anti-corrosive additive, Big Blu is available in 1L and 4L bottles.

Extended Range of Applications

It’s also it’s offered in two other varieties: Big Blu Subzero for people working in cool room and (obviously) sub-zero environments.

Additionally,  if your application calls for something other than a spray bottle, we have Big Blu Brush-on which is great if you want to put a little bit of product in a particular spot without getting too much overspray on your work.

Not Just for HVAC&R Systems!

“It never ceases to amaze me when I see the diverse range of applications that people have for this product,” says Brett.

“It’s not only an excellent leak detector for refrigerants for air conditioning and refrigeration systems, but Big Blu is also commonly used in tyre shops; plus I’ve seen it used extensively in tuning workshops where they find positive leaks in intercooler systems. It’s also used for air lines in trucking and transport to help find those hard to detect leaks,” adds Brett.
