The Float-Style Leak Detector with Split Housing Adapter is designed to capture and manage fluid leakage that escapes past stuffing box packing, helping operators prevent spills, protect equipment, and maintain safe pumping operations. Equipped with an explosion-proof float switch, the unit automatically shuts down the pumping system when the stainless steel reservoir reaches approximately 75% capacity, reducing the risk of overflow and environmental contamination.
Paired with a Split Housing Adapter, this leak detector allows operators to adapt existing bolt-style stuffing boxes without requiring a rig for installation. Its low-profile design and complete installation kit make it a practical, field-ready solution for oilfield production applications.
