About this item
- 【Effective Gas Leak Detector】 TOPTES PT520A can accurately help you locate the gas leakage of various combustible gases in tight spaces, such as methane, natural gas, propane, LPG, gasoline, etc. *Note: Please allow 30 seconds of warm-up time before the operation
- 【Flexible Probe Easy to Use】With a 43.5cm flexible gooseneck (bendable in any direction), the portable gas leak detector makes it easy for you to access hard-to-reach areas, such as natural gas pipelines, propane storage tanks, gas fireplaces, basement, RV, and other narrow space. It can be carried anywhere to find leaks no matter outdoors or indoors.
- 【Visual & Audible Alarm】 PT520A will rapidly respond in 0.5 seconds while gas is detected. Seven colored analog bars and a 75dB audible buzzer help you point out the gas leak location. Both of them increase with combustible gas concentration. Detection range: 50 to 10,000 ppm (*based on Methane)
- 【User-Friendly Functions】 Activate or cancel the Auto Power-Off function through the APO button just in your need. When canceled, the detector will turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity to save power. In addition, you can turn off the audible alarm at any time via the Mute button to eliminate annoying alarm noise. The double-sided bar-shaped groove design and non-slip material make it wear-resistant and easy to hold

Relevant stats: “In Ontario alone, there have been 179 natural gas explosions and two fatalities in the last 11 years, according to the province's safety regulator.
Those numbers, which do not include incidents caused by homicides and suicides, include 79 explosions at private dwellings...Safeguards include testing pipes to handle much higher pressure than they're expected to carry, 24/7 monitoring, and pressure release valves that automatically go off when anything abnormal is detected.
The company deals with about 500 gas leaks per year — almost all of them caused by construction crews breaching pipes, she said.” (Gas explosions rare, but danger always present, Canadian experts say - Canadian Energy News, Top Headlines, Commentaries, Features & Events - EnergyNow)

Relevant stats relevant to natural gas leaks: “For example, in 2009 alone, there were 158 natural gas distribution pipeline incidents that killed 10 people, injured 50 more, and caused $32 million in property damage... .”(How Dangerous is Natural Gas? (safer-america.com))

Relevant Stats relevant to propane leaks: “With around 60 million propane grills in the US, there will be incidents, as with any product in use with those numbers. An NFPA grill fire study from 2009 to 2013 showed an average of 7,415 gas grill fires per year. Interestingly, the leading causes listed in the study were failure to clean the grill, having the grill too cluse to combustible material and leaving the grill unattended while in use. A leak or break in the gas line accounted for 14% of the causes, or around 1,040 gas grill fires. Looking at the numbers above, propane as a fuel source for grills has a pretty good track record, with a .000017 incident rate. And when you look at the frequency of gas grill use, the incident rate goes down even further....” (Propane Statistics | Usage, Fire and Safety Statistics (propane101.com))

Relevant Stats relevant to CO poisoning: “According to Statistics Canada, between 2000 and 2013, in Canada, there were 4,990 deaths associated to CO poisoning. This included 1,125 deaths where there were no other underlying causes of death and 3,865 where there were other underlying causes of death. • In terms of the total number of deaths, 34.8% were for people between the ages of 25 and 44 years old, and an additional 40% were for those between 45 and 64 years old. • Quebec had the highest total number of carbon monoxide-related deaths (n = 1,445) followed by Ontario (27.5 per cent), the Prairies (24.6 per cent), British Columbia and the Territories (13.3 per cent), and the Maritimes (5.6 per cent).” (Carbon-Monoxide-2017-Final-.pdf (ufv.ca))
