Phoenix Systems Brake & Coolant Test Strips — 100‑Count Double‑Ended Tube, Copper Detection & Fast Colour Results

Phoenix Systems 100 Double-Ended Brake & Coolant Test Strips are a single-tube, 100-count service kit that delivers quick visual checks of brake fluid copper contamination and coolant condition for shops, fleets, and service advisors.

Designed for high-volume shop workflows, this all-in-one kit pairs a patented copper-detection brake fluid test with a coolant condition test on the opposite end of each strip. Technicians get rapid color-change results, and service advisors receive 100 customer-facing rating cards to document findings and communicate next steps clearly. The sealed metal tube with desiccant preserves strip performance for reliable use during routine inspections, fleet checks, and customer-facing diagnostics.

How do these double-ended strips speed up routine inspections?

Each strip performs two separate tests without swapping tools, so techs can check both brake fluid and coolant in one short procedure. Results are color-based for immediate interpretation and require minimal training, which helps shops keep lanes moving and standardize checks across staff.

• One dip for coolant (read at ~60 seconds) and one dip for brake fluid (read at ~90 seconds).
• Color chart included to standardize pass/fail or maintenance-recommended outcomes.
• 100 strips in one metal tube reduce restocking frequency for busy shops.

What vehicle fluids and conditions does the kit support?

The brake end detects copper contaminants associated with brake fluid degradation and is compatible with DOT 3, DOT 4, and DOT 5.1 formulations, including many synthetic low-viscosity fluids. The coolant end follows MAP, ASL, and ASTM guidance for coolant condition and works with common coolant technologies when properly diluted.

• Brake compatibility: DOT 3, DOT 4, DOT 5.1; not for DOT 5 silicone fluids.
• Coolant compatibility: Conventional, HOAT, OAT colors — test diluted coolant below 140°F.
• Follow included instructions for correct immersion times and temperature limits.

How do shops document and present results to customers?

Each service kit includes 100 customer rating cards designed for straightforward communication. Service writers can hand drivers a printed result along with recommended next steps, creating a transparent conversation and a paper trail for service history.

• One-to-one rating cards match each strip for immediate handoff.
• Color-match outcomes tied to clear recommendations for fluid exchange or continued monitoring.
• Useful for fleet records, warranty checks, and upsell conversations grounded in visible evidence.

How durable and reliable are the strips for shop use?

The strips ship in a sealed, desiccant-lined metal tube to maintain testing accuracy after opening, and the kit is built for repeatable performance in high-throughput environments. Phoenix Systems' patented copper-detection chemistry is an industry-recognized method for assessing brake fluid condition without complex equipment.

• Sealed metal tube with desiccant preserves strips for up to 2.5 years after opening.
• MAP and California BAR certifications align with professional service standards.
• Patented copper-detection technology gives consistent, repeatable brake-fluid readings.

Who is this for? The Phoenix Systems BrakeStrip Plus Service Center Kit is tailored to independent shops, dealerships, fleet maintenance teams, and service centers that need a fast, repeatable way to inspect brake fluid and coolant and to present objective, visible test results to customers. If you manage high vehicle throughput or want a straightforward diagnostic tool for routine maintenance checks, this kit centralizes fluid screening and customer communication in a compact, shop-ready package.
