Which reach?
Choose a kit that reaches your highest ceilings comfortably: 5m Urban kits for low ceilings and vans, 6m kits for most commercial buildings, and 8.2m to 9.3m kits for atria, sports halls and warehouses. For detectors that cannot be reached safely, Scorpion fixed test heads are also available.
Keep kits running with test aerosols, cartridges, capsules and batteries from smoke detector testers, heat detector testers and CO detector testers. Brands: Solo and Testifire.
Detector test kit FAQs
What is in a smoke detector test kit?
Typically a smoke tester or dispenser, telescopic access poles, a detector removal tool and a carry bag. Combined kits add a heat tester head (and CO on Testifire 2001/6201/9201). Check each listing for exact contents.
Solo or Testifire: which kit should I buy?
Solo kits use a separate head for each test, keeping cost per head low. Testifire kits combine stimuli in one powered head, so multi-sensor detectors can be tested without swapping tools.
Do the kits include test aerosol or cartridges?
It depends on the kit. Consumables such as Solo A5/A10 aerosols, ES3 cartridges and Testifire TS3/TC3 capsules are also sold separately.
