Gas Leak Detector – Portable Natural Gas Sniffer for Propane, Methane, LPG, LNG, Fuel & Sewer Gas – Combustible Gas Detector with 12" Flexible Probe for Home, RV, Industrial Use

Right out of the box this product worked. I read a lot of reviews before I purchased this product so I was a little sceptical. Read the instructions first. My wife was complaining of a gas leak after our Co2 alarm went off. I told her that the batteries were low and I just needed to change them. For peace of mind I needed a tester that would provide a quick and accurate answer. This product arrived fast and the seller provided back up information with an email. Great response on behalf of the seller. Helpful information for someone that perhaps didn't read the easy to understand instructions provided. Some of the reviews I read were negative and I'm not sure how that's even possible. I put in the batteries and adjust the settings as per instructions and tested the area around my propane fireplace for leaks. Nothing! So I then needed to test if this thing even worked so I turned on my propane gas barbeque without lightning it as many had done before me. I waited a few seconds and used the tester to see if it could detect the gas and before I even came close it started detecting the gas. The alarm isn't crazy load but works perfectly but changes from high to low as you move away from the detected leak. Visually displaying intensity on the display too. I carefully checked again for leaks around my fireplace and nothing. Great product to have in your toolbox for nothing else but peace of mind. If you do suspect a gas leak in your home, you certainly don't want to wait a day or two to find out. Order this before there's a problem and keep your family safe. Great product. Easy to use. Trust this seller. They go above and beyond most of the others I've bought from on Amazon and the price can't be beat either.

Works as should.

Given the fact that there are many to choose from, I didn't have much concern about it not operating as advertised. However, I didn't have an immediate need as I decided to have an experienced natural gas installer finish off my new range installation. I did my first ever DIY job on about 18 feet of black pipe for a gas line that had 6 or 7 90-degree turns from the basement to the kitchen. (I have been installing various types of plumbing for many years, never gas.) When the professional came he saw all my work and made the final installation. When he ran the leak test the traditional way; soapy water solution, none of my work, and none of his were leaking. He said he doesn't trust those gas testers and said even if you breathe on them they can set off a false alarm. I tried it, and he was correct. But I had faith it would work. A few days later I decided to make some changes in the kitchen for a better fit of my gas range. After all of it was completed I set the gas tester per the instructions, testing it first with a lighter than using the gas from my range and it worked fine. I followed that up with soapy water and the results were the same, no leaks. Natural gas is something you want to be 100% sure about. I have confidence in the tester, but what's the harm in a free soapy-water confirmation? None.

I bought this because the house we moved into had some serious issues with the ventilation where Ptraps were bypassed & H2S Poison was leaking back into the house. Not only has this device helped troubleshoot the rest of the ventilation system, but it also helped me to double check all the gas connections too. It’s a very simple design, with a wheel to adjust the sensitivity? But it’s effective in detecting natural gasses. It is loud, & has an annoying buuuuuzzzzz when something is detected but that’s a good thing, right? You wanna know if there is an unwelcome gas in your house. It does detect the gasses fairly quick, but takes a few seconds to reset. You get what you pay for. Accuracy is undeniable, & I say that because I used it on my dog when he had an upset tummy and was VERY gassy! The meter rose to Three Bars! I hope this little device helps you as much as it helped me, & gives you the peace of mind that your house is gas free.

Every once in awhile I'll smell a very slight amount of gas but it usually disappears before I can figure out where it's coming from. I know it's a small amount because nobody else seems to be able to smell it, so I wanted to get a detector like this to have on hand for next time I think I smell it. The detector comes in a nice drawstring storage bag and includes a small instruction pamphlet. It uses 3 AAA batteries, which are not included. To use it you install the batteries in the back, then simply flip the switch to the on position. When you first power the unit on it will go through a warmup mode for about 10 seconds (indicated by the warmup light being lit). If you think you might have a gas leak then you'll want to make sure you have the unit away from any potential gas sources during this warmup period as this is when the unit is calibrating itself. Once the warmup is complete the light will go off and you're ready to go. There is a dial on the side which you use to adjust the sensitivity of the unit. To start you'll want to turn the dial until the first red meter LED is just on the verge of lighting up. Then simply walk around and run the sensor around anyplace you suspect there is a leak. The red LEDs will light up more and more as you get closer to the source. I tested the detector with my natural gas stove as well as with a regular butane lighter and it worked great detecting both of them. I haven't had a chance to use it to find any leaks yet (which is a good thing!) but I'm confident that if I need to use it for that purpose it will do a great job of helping me pinpoint the source.

This is review for gas leak detector Y201. My wife was always complaining about gas smell in our basement, and I did not smell anything. I mean she was saying it is not really bad, but just a little bit funny smell after the house stays closed with all windows and doors for a couple of days while we are somewhere else. After we open a window, the smell dis-appears in a couple of minutes. I was thinking that it is all because the house is old and this is "natural" smell. Finally hear prayers were answered and I asked her to show me the place, where exactly she smells the gas, she pointed out to the one joint, I tested it with the soap and water and yes indeed there was a very minor leak. I fixed that. She also pointed to other places where she smells the gas- I tested with the soap water and found nothing. But again- she got the point because she pointed out to the first leak correctly and my theory about "old house smell" did not work anymore. To make my wife happy I bought this device, tested the places where she pointed and indeed in all the places the devices found the leaks. Again for the records- soap and water method showed nothing there. I was skeptical- dis-assembled that joints, put the paste and assembled back- both my wife and the device did not find any smell which makes me believe that this thing works! Now I got no-leaks pipes and happy wife. 100% happy! Highly recommend this device - fits the bill and works good enough to confirm my wife's superpowers!

As others have said, it's simple to operate and gives immediate visual and audible feedback when it detects gas. The long, flexible neck makes it easy to get the detector head into hard-to-reach places. The sensitivity dial lets you set it for maximum sensitivity short of false alarms. In short, it has everything you need. I've used one of these for years to check for propane leaks in RVs. Just a few days ago it helped me track down a leak from a failing catalytic heater. For a very reasonable price, it's a literal lifesaver.

I've read all the reviews, like you should too. I won't repeat a lot of what has already been mentioned. I bought this to help detect and sniff out tiny gas leaks in my 70 year old house. These were leaks that I basically could not smell with the exception of that 'every once in awhile' picking up the faint smell of gas whiff in the air of the basement. So far, all of my detected leaks have come from pipe threads that have dried out and have sprung these tiny leaks. In retrospect, bubbles could not find any of them... and I got a sense that many were lingering for possibly decades. Some exist around the old style shut off valves where the stem packing dries out. This device is very sensitive and only needs to be around the leak for a few moments. It accurately and quickly has pinpointed these problems and is almost too sensitive to a fault. While it also detects sewer gas, which will pool in a low spot, gas tends to float on the air and gravitate upward. I'm unsure as to how the 'smell' added (mercaptan) adds molecular weight thus sending the gas lower in the room. Regardless, the sensitivity of this device is five stars. What desperately needs fixing is the calibration wheel, which when zeroed in fresh air is already spun 75% up... leaving only a 25% remainder on the dial to adjust the amount of gas you want to consider as dangerous and needing immediate attention. The unit has no indication of percentages or concentration levels, so its a blind guess as to what the battery wasting led lights and buzzers are trying to tell you. Obviously its alerting you to the presence of natural gas, which is good thing... But when zeroed in fresh air, the calibration dial will have very little room left for actual calibration. A slight touch of the wheel will send it into overload WHEN ITS OUTSIDE in fresh air. That is a flaw that needs correction. The battery cover also needs a redesign as it often requires a circus act to remove it. If the incessant buzzing doesn't drive you crazy, then the 10-12 minutes of battery life will. This thing eats AAA batteries and needs three at a time to work properly. I can't validate the effectiveness of the unit once the low battery light comes on. It will still work and detect but I can't speak to the level of accuracy at that point. After 10 weeks of fairly decent usage... maybe a total of 5 hours, the unit is showing signs of breaking down. It started to give false readings with regularity. Its tone has changed and that tone has often become shaking and erratic and I'm starting to loose confidence. I still have a bunch off interior walls that I'm sniffing and will need to purchase a higher end unit to get me through my project. For this reason... failing sensitivity after 5 hours... I gave the unit 3 stars. Lastly... if you're going to use this thing only once a month for 5 minutes, I think its a good value for the average homeowner. If however you're drilling into walls and ceilings, and tracing gas lines thru your structure, I'd start with one of the more professional models offered on the internet.

Works as it should. When we received it, we tested it and my partner decided to pass gas, which triggered the detector. Lol. Well the item worked. The device helped confirm a leak in a propane tank during recent camping trip to the North! It detected that the regulator wasn't working correctly and we went to a local hardware store and bought a regulator. Fixed the problem! So for those campers heading out to enjoy nature, get one of these devices as it could save your life.

Had toch ergens een klein gaslek in de meterkast. Had ooit een gasbuis afgekoppeld en een gasdop geplaatst die niet helemaal goed afsloot. Dit apparaat herkende het lek, erg blij mee!

Ahora solo esperar, me dedico al mantenimiento de un edificio continuamente hay reportes de fugas de gas LP. Veremos qué tal Reseña 2: fecha 27 de agosto 2024 desde la más mínima fuga me ayudado en detectar y también lo he comprobado con la típica prueba agua con jabón y nada, cero fuga. Antes me llevaba en spray la mezcla de jabón ahora llevo este efeciente detector.

J'étais incommodé par une odeur de gaz dans mon camping car. J'ai commandé de nouveaux tuyaux et des joints ainsi que ce détecteur. Malgré le changement des tuyaux et des joints, le détecteur a continué à signaler une fuite sur l'un des raccord vissé (4 raccords au total ont été changés/refaits ce jour là). J'ai changé plusieurs fois de joints sans pour autant calmer le détecteur! Il a fallu rajouter du téflon en plus des joints neufs pour réussir à colmater, enfin, cette fuite et que le détecteur soit satisfait, ce qui prouve bien qu'il avait raison! Merci, je recommande ce détecteur de gaz!

Der Gasprüfer, - melder arbeitet wie er soll. Ich habe ihn erst mit Hilfe eines Feuerzeug getestet und eingestellt, der Alarm funktionierte gut. Anschließend die Gasleitungen "doppelt" geprüft. Auf die konventionelle Weise mit Lecksuch-Spray, und mit dem Prüfer. Das Gerät hat ein Ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis und macht einen Robusten Eindruck. Über die Qualität und Haltbarkeit kann ich nach so kurzer Zeit noch nicht viel sagen. Ich habe aber nicht den Eindruck, daß es Minderwertig ist. Zum Gerät gehört ein Aufbewahrungsbeutel, hier wäre mir eine Box lieber. Aber der Beutel schützt vor Staub und Kratzer. Ich bewahre es in einer Kunstoffbox mit Deckel auf. Gibt's für kleines Geld im Ac...n.
