Symbion Portable Propane Natural Gas Leak Detector

The propane alarm keept going off in my camp trailer. I bought the detector and it found the leak. All fixed, thanks to the detector for locating the leak.

This product works great! 100% Happy! It shipped much faster then I expected and performs exactly as described. My customers love the fact I now have multiple ways of finding if gas exists and with how precise the Lcm detector is I have more comfort. You just can't beat the price and convenience. Don't get me wrong there are other old school tried and true ways to detect gas, but in my personal opinion this just kicks it up a notch in professionalize. GREAT BUY!

I bought one of these units and like an idiot, tested it by putting it directly into an opened gas line for it's first test. That jacked it up and made it do the yellow light and sound thing everyone talks about. I then read the directions (should have done that first) and it said, do not place directly into an opened stream of gas with valve wide opened. Apparently this messes with the sensitivity. I ordered another one and this time followed the directions. Guess what!? The thing worked perfectly for about a year till I beat the heck out of it rolling around in my tool box. I found many leaks in that time as I am an inspector. I will be ordering another one.

The unit works--it powers up and self-calibrates. If you put it in a stream of propane it will detect it. But for any practical use -- forget it. Supposedly, you can smell 20,000 ppm...and this thing should detect 2,000 ppm (5% LEL). There's a faint smell the propane from a slow leak, but it doesn't go off. Useless if you're trying to locate a leak source.

THIS PRODUCT IS A GOOD A ONES YOU'D PAY A HUNDRED OR MORE DOLLARS. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AND EVERY HOME SHOULD HAVE ONE. I FOUND A STOVE AND SPACE HEATER GAS LEAK IN THE DANGER ZONE AND TOOK IMMEDIATE ACTION. GET IT NOW IF YOU USE GAS. THIS IS MY ADVICE TO YOU. YOU MAY GET USE TO SMELLING GAS AFTER A TIME AND THINK IT IS OK .... IT IS NOT!!! IT IS DANGEROUS. I WOULD NOT LIKE ANY OF YOU TO EXPERIENCE A PHYSICAL DISASTER OR TO HAVE MEDICAL PROBLEMS FROM LEAKS YOU MAY PUT OFF BECAUSE YOU ARE TOO BUSY OR THINK BAD THINGS CAN'T HAPPEN TO YOU. WINTER IS COMING ON AND YOU'LL KEEP YOUR HOUSE TIGHTER AND CLOSED TO KEEP OUT COLD AIR. THIS WILL ALSO KEEP GAS LEAKS INCREASING IN VOLUME IN YOUR HOUSE. WE TURNED OFF SPACE HEATERS THAT HAD LEAKS WHEN THE GAS IS NOT LIT. WHEN IT IS LIT, IT IS MORE SAFE BECAUSE THE GAS WILL DIVERT TO THE HEATER AND REDUCE LEAKAGE. GET IT- GET IT- GET IT. THE COST IS SO SMALL COMPARED TO YOUR SAFETY..... RIGHT!!! RIGHT! YOU MAY CONTACT ME IF YOU WISH. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THE SENSITIVITY OF THIS UNIT. I THOUGHT THE LOW PRICE WOULD MAKE IT A CHEAPER UNIT --- I-WAS-WRONG !!!

I have a #100 tank that would always leak out costing me another $75.00 for a fill. I checked everywhere for leak's using my nose and soapy water. The leak's persisted until I purchased the Symbion Natural Gas leak detector. I put the batteries in and within two minutes, I located three very small gas leak's. I took everything apart and cleaned the thread's, then applying LA-CO 44094 Slic-Tite PTFE pipe tape for a tight thread seal. No more leaks. Excellent purchase. saved me a lot of money buying more propane.

I bought this detector when my Kidde CO and explosive gas detector started giving me false gas alarms. I use this detector as a backup, for when the Kidde alarm sounds, to make sure there is no real gas leak. The dtector is easy to use, and I like the fact that it can let you pinpoint where a leak is coming from, as the LED display has two levels, yellow and red. This is a must have in any house that uses natural gas or propane for heating/cooking.

the gas detector has little screws that you remove to place a battery in it. The screws are factory stripped & I can't remove them. I have tried different methods, to no avail, so I have not been able to use it . I am a prime member & buying is very easy & shipping is great! I will probably have to return the defective propane gas detector, just haven't gotten around to it.
