Tracer Gas Injection System for Water Leak Detection

The TIB 40 Tracer Gas Injection System is a professional flow and pressure control unit designed for hydrogen tracer gas leak detection in pressurized water distribution systems. Used alongside the HUNTER Tracer Gas Leak Detector, it precisely injects forming gas (5% hydrogen / 95% nitrogen) into live water pipelines, allowing utilities and leak detection contractors to locate underground leaks without interrupting water service.

Unlike traditional tracer gas methods that require pipelines to be taken out of service and depressurized, the TIB 40 enables live pipeline leak detection, reducing downtime, preventing contamination, and minimizing customer disruptions. Its integrated electronic flow meter, pressure gauge, quick-connect fittings, and rugged transport case make it an essential tool for professional water leak detection programs.
