Works great! Found a leak in the house in five minutes!
Just received this detector from Amazon and turned the unit on outside to set the sensitivity and started testing the gas lines in my house. Five minutes later I found a natural gas leak in the basement!
Background:
We have two of the wall plug-in type CO / Gas detectors. Occasionally one will sound its alarm. The other one doesn’t. Then they reverse which one alarms. They do this days, weeks, even months apart. It seemed so random, plus no smell, that it seemed to be false alarms. Still, there was that nagging feeling. That’s why I ordered the TIF 8800A.
The TIF 8800A did not indicate any gas in the house in general. The sniffer tip had to be placed right next to a fitting to get an increase in the warning level, but it did go right up the scale quickly when by that fitting. I suspect the leak is very, very small and that the other two alarms really were giving false alarms. I will have the leak fixed, of course. The alarm level drops to zero even two inches from the fitting.
I highly recommend this detector for anyone with gas to their house. There really is no other way to tell for sure if you have a leak (the bubble test doesn’t always work).
Gas sniffer
This is a very effective sniffer for natural & propane gas. We use many of them in our gas business and thay work so good, I bought my own.
10+ Years and Still 100% accurate!
The TIF combustible gas detector is outstanding!
I’m a third generation HVAC installer and service technician. I’ve had one of these units for about 12 years now and it is every bit as accurate and reliable as the day I bought it.
It is capable of measuring tiny gas leaks with astounding accuracy. The probe is flexible, which is extremely handy (and pretty much a necessity).
I laughed when I saw this one on Amazon because it looks identical to the one I bought 12 years ago. I would have imagined they would have updated it. Then again, if something isn’t broken why fix it?
It is durable, easy to hear and holds a charge for a very long period of time. It is adjustable and can be set for small or large gas presence.
For professional or DIY use this is the meter to buy.
The only downside is the battery pack. They are not common and cannot be bought at your local hardware store. You’ll have to buy them online. They cost around $20 for the battery pack. They last about 5-6 years with constant use. They are rechargeable, but like all batteries they eventually need to be replaced.
