Features:
- Leak Sealing: Targets and seals small leaks in R-134a A/C components.
- Contents: Contains a mixture of PAG oil, R-134a refrigerant, and sealant.
- Red Dye: Includes red dye to pinpoint major leaks that cannot be fixed by chemical sealant.
- Compatibility: Designed for use in all standard R-134a automotive A/C systems.
- Valve Type: Features a self-sealing valve, which may require a specific adapter (e.g., DVA-1) for older hoses.
- Usage: Often used as a preventative measure or to fix slow leaks where the A/C system holds a charge for more than two weeks.
DESCRIPTION
IDQ 311N is a 3-ounce aerosol can containing a specialized formula designed to stop minor leaks in automotive R-134a air conditioning systems. It works by injecting a chemical sealant, often paired with additives, to repair common leaks in rubber hoses, gaskets, and O-rings, while also including a red dye to help identify larger leaks that require mechanical repair.
NOTE:
- Not a Permanent Fix for All Leaks: This product is intended for small, slow, or "seep" leaks in rubber components. It is not effective for large metal failures or broken hoses.
- Requires Additional Refrigerant: This 3 oz can usually only contains the sealer and a small amount of carrier refrigerant, meaning you will likely need to add a full can of R-134a refrigerant to the system afterward to restore proper function.
- System Compatibility: While generally safe, some technicians caution that overuse of stop-leak products can potentially clog systems over time.
