Just wondering what most people use to check if the small leak is in the furnace plenum A coil, other than by checking everything else. Halide torch on R 22 out of the home registers, would that work.

Are all refrigerants not flamable, CFC's and HCFC's you use a halide on so they are not flamable, just got to watch out for fosgene gas, I believe that to be the only danger, is that right?

Refrigeration still doesn't have a "d" in it does it ?

You would have to hold it an inch away from most leaks to pinpoint them. It works great with R410a (Puron). My old H10PM wouldn't, so I upgraded.
