Troubleshooting
VIII. troubleShootIng
1. If the Gastec Irritant Smoke Tube does not emit smoke
when air is forced into the tube, the tube may be clogged due
to water vapor absorption. To correct this problem, place the
tube in a warm, flame-free, moisture-free environment to dry
out the tube.
WarnIng: Heating the end plugs of the tube with a match or
lighter to accelerate drying is not recommended, as
this heat may generate toxic fumes.
