25 years ago we used to use some type of liquid wintergreen which we would introduce at the main riser. The rule was always whoever put the wintergreen in couldn't look for the leak because that would be all they could smell. I never really believed in it but I was an apprentice and had to do what I was told. In a message dated 11/14/2012 2:09:06 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, [email protected] writes:
Need some input: Working on an existing CPVC system which original owner drained glycerin out of the system because of a leak. We have tried to find the leak with 40 psi of air pressure, still unable to find a leak. Has anyone introduced a smell into the system with the air pressure to find such a leak. If so, what could we use for the smell?
