Testing drains and pipes using smoke machines
Our specialist fog machine kit specifically
designed for testing the integrity of drains. It generates a persistent
water-based non-toxic smoke and is very easy to use.
It may just transform the way you
test drains!

Portable Drain / Pipe Testing
Smoke
Generator

Photo above: The DrainTester in off-power operation.
The green drain bag shown inflated above would slide into the opening of the pipe you are testing whilst deflated, and then be inflated inside the pipe to create a seal.
The thick black tube ducts the smoke through the inflatable bag and into the pipe, and the smaller black pipe is used to inflate the bag and has standard fittings to connect to an air pump. |

A user
friendly, effective and non toxic means of introducing smoke
into drains - the DRAINTESTER is the ultimate tool.
THE DRAINTESTER
• Clean, simple and cost effective, with a 5 year parts
warranty
• Produces smoke on demand - simple push button operation
• Can be user “off power” once pre-heated
• Uses re-sealable aerosols to produce up to 15 minutes
of
smoke per canister
THE SMOKE
• Can travel through hundreds of metres of drains
• Dense, highly visible, with a distinct odour
• Is water based, non toxic and completely controllable
THE BENEFITS
• Drastically reduced running costs
• User friendly, easy operation
• Greatly enhanced performance and safety compared to
existing pyrotechnic smoke methods
Perfect for pest controllers “an invaluable tool for solving
rodent and odour problems”

Operation:
- Connected to mains power, can produce smoke
continuously
- After 15 minutes connected to power, can
produce smoke disconnected for up to 2 minutes
- Particle size 0.2 - 0.3 micron, mass median
diameter - the smallest particle size of any machines we
sell.
Available for 230v or 110v
(please specify when ordering)
The DrainTester allows you to operate
the unit off-mains power - you can produce a considerable
amount of
smoke
using the retained energy within the high mass heat exchanger,
allowing you to carry the generator around, making
smoke
as required, without a trailing electrical lead. After being
on mains for around 15 minutes, the DrainTester will generate
large amounts of
smoke
for around 2 minutes whilst off power. Connected to the mains,
the DrainTester can operate continuously at full output.

The DrainTester's basic principle of operation is simple. Use the DrainTester to fill the pipework with smoke. The pipe system should ideally have an open end. When smoke starts to exit the open end, this signals the pipework is filled with smoke and you simply need to cap it off. Leaks in the pipes will be shown by smoke exiting from them. The DrainTester does not produce pressurised smoke, but is normally sufficient to visualise any leaks.

| Overseas Use - non-pressurised fluid canisters |
 Overseas shipping costs
are generally reduced by ordering refillable canister(s) and containers
of smoke fluid instead of the above pre-pressurised aerosols. |
| |
 Refillable Canister (supplied singly)
Fill
with fluid (below) and pressurise with a hand pump, airline
(e.g. in a garage forecourt) or inert gas supply. Can be refilled
25+ times if used with care.
Overseas shipping costs
are greatly reduced by ordering refillable canister(s) and containers
of smoke fluid instead of pre-pressurised aerosols. |

DUCTING ADAPTORS & HOSE
  |
Alternative ducting adaptors
attach to the front of the machine to allow secure connection
of ducting hose to allow smoke to be positioned precisely,
in hard to reach places or inside pipes. These hoses
are not as heavy duty as the hose supplied as part of
the DrainTester kit above, so more care must be taken.
All our ducting hoses are now internally lined to be
smooth thereby reducing frictional losses. When you
duct smoke, you are restricting the smoke particles
so deposition in the hose over time is inevitable. Using
this machine and this type of hose, deposition is minimised. |
