FAQs
What is the primary use of Regin Smoke Matches?
Their primary use is to test the airflow and detect spillage or leakage in gas appliances, ensuring safe operation and proper venting.
How long does each smoke match burn for?
Each Regin Smoke Match has a burn time of approximately 15 seconds.
Are the smoke matches safe to store?
Yes, they are supplied in a lockable and waterproof bathtub designed for safe storage and transport, protecting them from moisture and accidental ignition.
Can I use these for other types of testing?
While primarily designed for gas appliance spillage testing, they can be used to visualize airflow in other HVAC ducting or ventilation systems where a temporary smoke source is needed.
What should I do with a used smoke match?
Allow the used match to cool down completely, then dispose of it safely according to local waste disposal regulations.
How many matches are typically in one container?
The product description does not specify the exact quantity per container, but they are provided in sufficient numbers for typical professional use.
Troubleshooting
Match does not light
Ensure the tip is dry. If the match is damp, it may not ignite. Use a fresh match from the container.
Smoke dissipates too quickly
The 15-second burn time is standard. If more time is needed for observation, light a second match immediately after the first one extinguishes. Ensure there are no strong drafts in the testing area that are accelerating dissipation.
Container seal is compromised
Inspect the container for damage. If the waterproof seal is broken, store the container in a dry environment and consider replacing it if water ingress is a risk.
