Please, will someone tell me how to use this as a leak detector. Poling's "answer" does NOT provide any info related to leak detection.

Hook up to a propane tank and an appliance. Make sure the appliance is turned off so that no propane should be being consumed. Then open up the propane tank (leaving the appliance off creating a closed system). Let the tank stay open for around 10 minutes so that the system pressurizes. Then turn the propane tank off. If you see the needle begin to drop then you are losing propane and have a leak.

I purchased this item for a friend of mine. I called him & asked if he new the amperage. His reply was that it replaced an exiting unit & fit perfect & it worked off 12 volts. This item was used in his RV & replaced his old unit which is used to detect propane leaks. Hope this info is helpful.

I don't think so. Where is the leak and what kind of leak is it?I was not impressed. If the leak is under water, i think under-water epoxy is the best joce. It is used on swimming pools and I used it on a leaking pool light connector. It worked great.

We have ours dialing a Vonage unit to a cellphone bypassing answering machine. I wonder why you would send a water alert to an answering machine? Idea is to stop the water before real damage occurs not listen to an untimely message.

It would tell you if it is charging, but not if it was leaking. I use it for basic testing, and it is great for that, but would not rely on it for testing capacitors.

Mine doesn't leak, maybe put some pipe tape around the threads see if that works

I think you would want something a little more sophisticated with a pancake tube. The Inspector or PRM 8000. This is a great little detector but you need something more sensitive and quicker. You would need to bucket some water then test it over a bit of time. Either of the units mentioned will measure over time.

I don't think this is correct product for you. It is made to detect the location of small leaks. You already know the source/location of your "leak". It is not an alarm but a diagnostic tool.

There is a wire from the alarm itself that goes to a probe that can be placed in things like a sump pump but I do not use that; that wire comes with the alarm. I set the alarm on the floor where I am at risk and then hook up my own phone line from the alarm to the wall jack so it will call me if water is detected. phone wire is not supplied but I have tested the process and it works well so I am confident that I will know if a problem develops

I'm currently having the same issue. I bought a hand held gas detector & discovered that my new stove has a slight leak from one of the rings! I am waiting on a part from the stove manufacturer to be available (by next week) and will see if it changes the situation! I will recalibrate as directed by the supplier of the hood and will follow up here when I feel either all is okay or status quo!

Not specific enough to answer. Is the leak coming from the unit, or external to the unit. If from the unit, call Rinnai and get the names of authorized Rinnai installers who should be more familiar with Rinnai products.

Properly tightened with quality gasket should work. Check the mating surface of the valve for smoothness (where it tightens against the gasket). I have used 2 of these valves, and they are flawless. One of the suggestions was thoughtful but incorrect in application (please no offense to Cory. It is great that everyone tries to help). Teflon tape is only to be used on pipe or tapered threads and can only temporarily stop a leak in other applications (if you like, get back to me anytime for details).

I would suggest making sure your connections are tight and sealing properly. Stink is added to propane for your protection, telling you there is a leak. Not good.

I suggest removing the plug and reinstalling the plug. We haven't had any issues with leaking.

The label and the manufacturer website state that the product will fix plumbing leaks, and several product reviews state as much also; however, the leaks we used the product for were of a different type, so I cannot personally attest. In any case, follow the directions carefully. Apparently, many of those who are dissatisfied with the product perhaps did not follow the directions correctly. Good luck, AlohaP.S. I figured even if it didn't work, we'd be out $25 or so, which is much cheaper than a new liner.

My first one leaked like yours. I threw it away and bought a new one. The new one has not leaked I would say return it!
