Gas Leak Detector Pen for Natural Gas and Propane: Pocket-Sized Gas Detector to Locate Gas Leaks of Combustible Gases like Methane, LPG, LNG, Fuel, Sewer Gas with Illuminated Digital Display and Alarm

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.

After multiple failures of various detectors installed in my camper, I opted for this portable device with a much needed sensitivity control. Although this is a battery operated portable device, I installed a 5-volt USB power supply where my previous detectors were installed and added a USB power cord to the unit. I adhered the unit to my camper wall with a velcro strip. Now I have the safety monitoring needed for the camper, and if I need to use the unit elsewhere, I simply detach it and install (3) AAA batteries and it's ready to go. The previous sensors were far too sensitive, resulting in annoying false alarms and they had high failure rates. I couldn't even put on after-shave lotion without setting them off -- ridiculous and very annoying! The sensitivity control on this Y201 is terrific, allowing you to stop the false alarms. ANY detector should be tested weekly, but instead of a test button, why not use the real thing -- I test the unit once a week with a BIC lighter. Also, the camper manufacturer installs the detectors at the floor level, where they can pick up dirt and dust, setting off the unit and possibly even clogging the sensor or eventually disabling it. LP gas is heavier than air and will stay by the floor, but there is no real reason to put the sensor that low to the floor. With the Y201, you can point the sensor down, where it will not have the tendency to pick up dirt or dust, and it will be at a more desirable level from the floor, about 5 or 6 inches. Also, because LP gas is detected by odor, the only time you really need a detector is when you are sleeping! Please note that this unit has an audible feedback feature that indicates proper functioning -- it makes a ticking sound. If you are a light sleeper, the ticking sound may bother you, so keep that in mind. I got used to the sound and it does not bother me at all, and I am a light sleeper. It's like a clock with a second hand, although it is slightly faster than that. Anytime the detector is not needed, it can simply be switched off, and this will also prolong the life of the unit. If you are forgetful and cannot remember to make sure the unit is on when needed, then this may not be for you. If you have small children (or cats) around that could possibly mess with the controls, then this may not be for you. As for me, I am very pleased with the unit and happy that such a device was available. I have been using it for a couple of months now, and I will revise this review accordingly if problems develop. The company now offers a lifetime warranty for the unit, which is amazing since all LP sensors have a limited lifetime, similar to an incandescent light bulb.

This gas leak detector is a reliable and essential tool for home safety, providing accurate and quick detection of any potential leaks. Its user-friendly design and clear alerts give peace of mind, ensuring the safety of my family and home.

I had a terrible smell in my shower after a recent remodel. I was able to find a gas smell coming from the shower drain. It works. You just have to know how to use it. At first I thought it didn’t work like some of these reviews I’m reading here, then I watched a YouTube video with instructions and I was able to find where the smell was coming from. I used it in other locations as well and l it definitely works great! Look it up on YouTube to learn how to use it correctly.

I Purchased this product because I was smelling small whiffs of gas. It was not strong but it would come and go from time to time. We had moved into the house in April and my wife also no test and Oder . We called the pluming HVAC people and they checked for gas leaks and found nothing. 2 months go by and I keep getting small whiffs of gas by my fire place. It’s a Gas log starter fireplace not a fully gas fireplace. It uses Gas to start the wood logs then you turn that part off.I received the product at the instructions were very easy calibrate it outside I. A well ventilated area then adjust the sensitivity and start looking. It took me 3 min to find the leak or where the gas smell was coming from anyway. It turns out when they built the house in the 90’s they used a Thread protector instead of a coupling on a few connections and one was them was leaking in the wall cavity probably since the house was built. We called the Gas plumber and got it resolved . It turns out the previous owners never used the fireplace but I was going to this winter so this could have saved our house from catching fire or exploding . Big thanks to you guys for having a very reasonably priced gas detector that works .

Estoy muy contento con el funcionamiento

If you have used other gas detectors or metal detectors etc this one will be simple. Even if you haven’t - follow the directions to be sure you have the sensitivity right - that’s it. This is so easy to use and works really well. I had a contractor come in with his gas fitter and tell me there were no leaks - even suggesting the heater is new so it’s just a new smell burning off. I found three different leaks with this detector. Easily worth the money.

Io lo Chiamo "NASONE", ma funziona in modo più che ottimo. Rileva ogni sorta di inquinamento, pure la benzina, solventi, anche la CO2 del fiato umano, se utilizzato in stanze chiuse.Rompe solo un po' le scatole quel bi-bit che fa, ma credo che sia utile per il suo funzionamento.lo suggerisco e lo ricomprerei ancora.PS: lo usa da tre anni, da quando ho comprato una stufa catalitica a GPL e lo trovo essenziale. Anzi vitale.

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!
