Gas Leak Detector, TECHAMOR PT202 Portable Natural Gas Leak Alarm Locate Gas Leaks of Combustible Gases Like Methane, LPG, LNG, Fuel for Home(Includes Battery x2 & Carrying Pouch) (Orange)

Works great! Used it outdoors and it worked with no issues

I installed a tankless heater to replace my conventional tank water heater. It required me doing some mods on the natural gas line. I’ve done this before when replacing the original water heater and used soap and my nose. I missed a very small leak and got the odor days later. This install required much more joints to be removed and redone to get the 3/4” pipe needed for the tankless. I tested it by opening an open gas line and it immediately went off. I did the install and used this at every joint. No gas detection (patted myself on the back). The next day, no gas odor detected. My install is in an enclosed area about 16x24. Love this product as it seems much more reliable than the soap-bubble method and it’s priced right.

Great small basic sniffer for preliminary investigations, wish it had a bit more features but gets the job done when doing preliminary investigative work in residential service.

This is a handy device for sniffing around propane tanks for any leaks either during transport or after setting up. I use this device to check for leaks when camping as I carry 2 or 3 small cylinders to and from camp. Though you should rely on your own research and advice, in all of my research on small-cylinder propane tank safety it all comes down to keeping the tanks vertical at all times and checking to make sure that the tank or the hoses that are connected are leaking or not. In general, not leaking = safe. Leaking can be caused inadvertently by the tanks being overheated. So that is the first thing, don't let the tanks get overheated. The next thing is that if the tanks or hoses are leaking if they are in an open area and downhill and away from camp fires or people that's safer at least than if the tanks leak uphill from people or a heat source. So keep tanks downhill or down in general. Also, if they leak in an open area instead of a closed area, that's another thing, in an open area it safe. It's not safe in a closed-area so keep outside in a well ventilated area. Finally, even if the air is open if the leak "pools" somewhere, let's say in a dip in the ground, that's not safe. So put tanks where if they leak it would not pool anywhere but instead disperse. After all these steps, check frequently with this little device for that final extra level of protection. I have a continuous monitor near the tanks and then I test using this. Also, test this device frequently by holding up a lighter and pressing the button without igniting it to check that the alarm sounds. Practice using the device ahead of time.

It works fine but it's a pain to turn on ( it took 3 times) and I can't shut it off I had to take the batteries out ( I just gave up).

No more arguing between the wife and I over whether or not there is a gas smell. This bad boy settles the mystery immediately.

I liked that this hand held tool operated as described. It did detect a gas leak that I suspected and I was able to have it repaired by the pros. The carrying cover is nice and keeps the tool protected. The price was reasonable. I would definitely recommend this item to keep in your toolbox.

works very well, be sure to keep the documentation so that you understand the levels/readings properly when used. after powering on, must wait for it to calibrate and be ready for use. suggest storing it without batteries. i would buy it again.
