Is LDF fit for purpose?

[mountainman]

Went to a gas escape today.

The escape according to the customer was on the boiler and transco agreed and so did I with a TT.

I checked the joints with ldf, nothing so I got my Anton sniffer on the case and it found the escape easily.

This is the second time this has happened with different ldf brands.

Come back Fairy Liquid, all is forgiven.

Is it a old can ?

I have found the rocol stuff to be the most reliable. Have had similar to you, where it wouldnt bubble up.

need to get it over the hole to work

I kicked the aerosols into touch years ago. I use the regin brush on.

Center brand LDF is shyte. I will only use Rocol.

Centre brand LDF is rocol!!!!!

I've had that told to me as well. It may be made by Rocol but it's nothing like the Rocol LDF that comes in the orange cans. The Cb stuff doesn't bubble up nearly so easily.

Centerbrand rebrand all expensive stuff. Their flux also comes in a yellow tub at double the price !

At £3 per can v £8 I'd rather the CB

 

[SimonJohns]

Am I also right in saying that CB and Rocol are the ONLY BS:EN approved LDF?

 

[hammers4spanner]

alot of center brand stuff is re branded and as far as i'm aware its rocol ldf

i now only use spray as the brush stuff is carp as well but nowadays you do need a sniffer so much better

i use the same stuff as he utilities cant remember its name but it comes in a liter bottle and i get it from drain center
