Effective heat exchanger and boiler tube maintenance requires the right tools at every stage — from detecting a problem, to cleaning the tube, to safely sealing it. This collection of products brings together everything needed for a complete tube maintenance workflow.
Before plugging a tube, you need to know which ones are actually leaking. The TC Wilson Vacuum Leak Detector (VLD) is a simple test instrument used to identify leaky tubes ranging in size from ¼" to 3" outer diameter, suitable for manufacturers and users of condensers, heat exchangers, and other tubular apparatus.
Our brass, stainless steel, and carbon steel tube plugs offer a low-cost, quick, and efficient method of sealing leaking tubes once identified. These one-piece plugs require minimal driving to establish a positive seal in seconds.
Once problem tubes are identified, cleaning before plugging or returning a unit to service is critical. Spiral cleaning brushes are available in various materials to handle soot, scale, and deposits. For mechanical tube cleaning at scale, the TC Wilson Wils-Away™ 520 Electric Tube Cleaner is the market leader in durability and safety.
Used together, these products support a complete, efficient tube maintenance process — detect leaks precisely, clean tubes thoroughly, and seal compromised tubes quickly — keeping your boilers, heat exchangers, and other equipment operating safely without unnecessary downtime or retubing.
