Superior Signal 5E FLEX battery-powered smoke blower
Superior Signal’s 5E FLEX battery-powered smoke blower is designed for smoke-testing building plumbing and laterals to quickly find faults, odors, leaks and inflow. The 5E FLEX is compatible with leading 18- to 20-volt tool batteries utilizing a high-quality power adapter. The 5E FLEX smoke blower integrates with existing electric toolsets or can run off any 12- to 24-volt DC power source. Smoke-testing is a cost-effective solution ideal for hard-to-find faults in commercial, residential and municipal facilities. While the 5E blower is popular for a variety of plumbing applications, it is also particularly useful in testing sewer laterals, showing where a fault or leak may occur on private property. Made in the USA, the 5E FLEX comes with an 8-foot industrial-grade hose. Used with 1A or 2B Superior smoke candles, it creates 4,000 or 8,000 cubic feet of smoke respectively.
