Y201 Propane and Natural Gas Leak Detector, Portable Gas Sniffer for Leaks of Combustible Gases like Methane, LPG, LNG, Fuel, Sewer Gas, w Flexible Neck

We’ve just had our gas meter exchanged this week and, during the exchange, they tested the supply for leaks. Anything more than a 4 millibar drop in pressure results in the engineer immediately shutting off the supply. Ours was a 3 millibar drop; not an emergency, but enough to warrant attention. We only moved in a few weeks ago and noticed a slight gas smell in the kitchen and it would make sense, if there was a leak, that that’s where it would be as our only gas appliances (boiler, hob, range) are all in that room. I followed the instructions and let this warm up outside, adjusted the sensitivity so the first led was just not appearing, took a step into the kitchen and the alarm started going off. What I was amazed at however was how easily I was able to locate and confirm a gas leak from behind the range. An engineer will be called and we’ll get this sorted. Video of this in action attached - it’s incredibly easy and simple to use. Very, very impressed!!!

I had builders in recently and the gas pipework was altered. I've had the odd little whiff of gas every now and then while doing some work in the cupboard, but didn't think much of it. Then I noticed I was waking up feeling dizzy. I ordered one of these, found the leak straight away, and had the builder back here to fix it within the hour. It's worth noting that the first thing he did was spray it with soapy water, and my detector could no longer find a leak after that, so make sure you test it whilst dry. It's as simple as turning it on outside and turning the sensitivity dial down to where the alarm stops. Then just move it around the suspected areas. I tested it with a lighter too, which proved it worked. If nothing else, the peace of mind this brings is worth the price tag alone. I was sceptical of the cheap yellow housing, but It helped me pinpoint a leak without relying on someone else who may have missed it. Obviously if you smell gas, you should call the gas network immediately, but this is handy to confirm your suspicions.

The gas sniffer arrived the day after I ordered it which was a real bonus as if you suspect a gas leak and are unable to deal with it then obviously you should contact the emergency services number. My suspected leak was from a gas barbecue so I was able to disconnect and take the whole cylinder outside its storage place. I have not tested the sniffer on the gas cylinder but did so on the gas hob in the house. This worked fine, as I thought it might. There are simple, clear instructions to get it working; always a bonus. I view the purchase as an insurance policy. I now know I have a product in which I place my trust should I need it in the future. I have suspected a gas boiler leak before so would have welcomed having this earlier and is the reason I went for this. As a tip and why it got 4 stars for me is because the three AAA batteries it needed to work were not included. Overall, a good purchase and in some ways one I hope is never needed.

We have a propane bottle installation (4x47 Kg bottles). My wife was insisting she could smell gas in the house. I tried the cheap way of trying to locate the source eg soapy water plus leak spray from a hardware store. In an effort to prove that we had no gas leak I purchased the portable gas sniffer. It was simple to use. We did not have a gas leak. I proved this by turning on gas for a mini second. The beeper went mad. I then proceeded to trace the lines back to the bottles, which were outside the house. I checked around all connections on the bottles. One point activated the beeper on the sniffer. The connection was not tight enough. One squeeze with a wrench solved this. This will obviously save money over time. I will now carry out regular checks on the installation with the sniffer. This is a superb,sophisticated instrument and excellent value.

So easy to use. Accurate, and literally saved our life. The gas pipe was in our toilet. We noticed a smell, but thought it was from the sewer. The Plummer came out, to fit a new our cooker, and said that the gas test showed to be. within perimeters. If I couldn’t smell gas. I said that I had smelt something but was trying to cover it up. For at least 18 months. I also said that my meter seamed to be moving even though no gas was actually on.. We used this tool. And it buzzed like mad. The Plummer said to switch of the gas at the mains And dig up the toilet.this is what we found. So a big Thankyou to this little life saver. I’m just imagining what is going on in your office now. It must be a massive whoopee. But even so, it is the truth. This tool is invaluable.we were sat on a ticking time bomb, and it effected my health too being exposed to gas for such a long time. My memory, was bad and concerntration. I often felt little tremors, and sick. Which has all gone now. Thankyou once again.

After almost two years of smelling sewer gas inside the house and landlords not taking any notice I decided to invest in this. My only regret is not purchasing it sooner! It detected a leak in the sink plug holes and one of the toilets straight away. I even tested at my parents house just to make sure it wasn’t faulty and it didn’t detect anything around the same areas (they do not have any issues with sewer gas) but when doing a test run on gas stove it worked straight away. Great product.

Arrived quickly, short and easy to understand instructions, easy to use This possibly saved the lifes of our household, i had brand new cooker delivered and installed proffesionaly by the manufacturer, which i paid extra for, afterwards thought i could smell gas in the mornings, eventually called SGN and they came out, there was a leak at point of cooker installation, they fixed it, but a few days later i thought i smelt gas again in the morning, Manufacturer then sent engineer back out whom checked it, tightened a few bits and reassured me all was ok, again after a few days i kept smelling gas in the morning, thought it was my imagination so i ordered this, thankfully delivery was quick as within seconds of being out the box it detected the gas leak, i got manufacturer back out, showed them it in action, they couldnt get to the bottom of why it kept leaking so uninstalled everything, removed and replaced all pipework, i still checked it every day for a week after but all is now fine, i would advise anyone if in doubt call them out, better be wrong than right, but if you want to try find a leak yourself this definetly does the job

It works well and has helped me to accurately locate butane leaks in my campervan. However the sensitivity is too high, meaning that it has to be turned right to the bottom setting or it goes off all the time, even in fresh air. Essentially you only get two results: either there is gas present, or there isn't. It's very difficult to tell whether a leak is big or small. Still, if you're looking to pinpoint where a leak is coming from, it will do the job nicely.

Tras varias utilizaciones confirmo que es un producto de calidad y que ha detectado eficientemente todas las pulgas punto es de fácil manejo y gran calidad

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.

It seems to work fine. I got it used/repackaged as described in amz listing. Saved some money. I tested it as instructed by using lighters and turning on gas stove a couple seconds for it to allow dial calibration. The sound is not terrible or loud. Dont leave batteries in it when not being used to prevent corrosion.

Sono un installatore e tecnico GAS, credevo che visto il prezzo e la provenienza, l'articolo fosse di bassa qualità invece con l'utilizzo giornaliero si è rivelato essere di ottima qualità, fa il suo lavoro egregiamente ed ha garznzia a vita confermata via mail dal produttore, per cui potete acquistarlo con la massima tranquillità. P.S. utilizzate batterie di qualità a lunga durata e toglietele dal vano batteria se inutilizzato per tempo.
