Genuine Robinair Spares for TIF8800 & TIF8900

Robinair’s TIF series combustible gas detectors, including the TIF8800X and TIF8900, are widely used to track down natural gas, LPG and other combustible vapours around HVAC and gas equipment. To keep those detectors earning their keep, you need reliable power and OEM-grade replacement parts.

Right now, this range centres on the Robinair TIF Battery Charger for TIF8800 & TIF8900 combustible gas detectors. It is built for Australian 240 V supply with an AU plug, making it a straightforward drop-in for local technicians.

Why a Genuine TIF Charger Matters

• Correct charging profile for TIF rechargeable packs.
• Reduced downtime between leak surveys and gas safety checks.
• Less risk of nuisance failures caused by generic, non-OEM chargers.
• Alignment with manufacturer guidance on charging and maintenance.

If your team already runs the Robinair TIF8900-A Combustible Gas Detector , pairing it with a genuine charger is a simple way to keep your gas safety checks on track.

Typical Jobs for Robinair Spares in Australia

HVAC and gas techs use TIF gas detectors and their chargers across a wide range of jobs, including:

• Checking gas lines and pipework in plant rooms and risers.
• Inspecting exhaust and fuel leaks on commercial plant and equipment.
• Verifying safety at propane filling stations and LPG storage points.
• Tracing gas around heat exchangers, boilers and burners.
• Checking for leaks in enclosed or semi-enclosed spaces where combustible gases may accumulate.

Having a spare OEM charger on the shelf means you can rotate detectors through calibration, bump testing and charging without taking your whole leak-detection capability offline.

Safety, Compliance & Good Practice in Gas Detection

Combustible gas detectors are safety-critical instruments. In Australia, businesses and PCBUs that work with hazardous chemicals and flammable gases must control risks, including choosing appropriate gas detection equipment and maintaining it so it remains fit for purpose.

• Use certified gas detectors that suit the task. For flammable gases and explosive atmospheres, selection, use and maintenance should align with relevant Australian and New Zealand standards for gas detectors.
• Maintain, bump-test and calibrate per manufacturer instructions. That typically includes regular function checks and scheduled calibrations, especially when the detector is used to control life-safety risks in confined spaces or hazardous areas.
• Understand the gas you’re looking for. The TIF8900 is designed for combustible gases (such as natural gas, propane, butane and petrol vapours). It is not a dedicated refrigerant leak detector and should not be relied on for halogenated refrigerants like R32 or R410A.

Important: This collection provides hardware only. Selection, placement and use of gas detectors must always follow your site procedures, WHS obligations and the relevant Australian Standards. When in doubt, consult your HSE adviser or an experienced licensed technician.
