wild rover Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hello again! Someone on this forum kindly gave me a link to a store where you can purchase a gas alarm. Unfortunately, they only do a three in one alarm which costs over £100. We only need one that detects propane. Does anyone know where I can find one? Thanks!

wild rover Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 I've tried googling but nothing much is coming up. I found one company and tried calling them but nobody is answering the phone. Pam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yrocker Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Saw one for sale in LIDL today. Runs on 240 and 12volt. Price around £10.00 :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wild rover Posted July 26, 2010 Author Share Posted July 26, 2010 Thanks for your help! I've tried some of the links but they don't say whether the alarms are for propane gas. The LIDL one looks fine, but the nearest store to us is miles away. I've tried calling them to see if they've got one in stock but nobody can give me an intelligent answer!

colin Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 The alarm I linked to detects both LPG and CO (and narcotic), if you are buying an LPG alarm I would sugest you also buy a sepperate CO alarm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted July 26, 2010 Share Posted July 26, 2010 Hi Pam There are 2 options to consider & I'm not sure which you are looking for. 1 - Gas leakage detector - for leaks in the Gas supply system 2 - Carbon Monoxide detector - for burnt Gas from appliances. For Gas leaks a soapy water smeared over joints (with Gas switched on) bubbles will indicate leaks. LPG (Propane & Butane) are both heavier than air & would normally "fall" through floor vents, so you will need to consider where you will mount the alarm. For Carbon Monoxide, (http://www.which.co.uk/advice/carbon-monoxide-detectors/index.jsp) we use a standard household detector, running on AAA batteries. See - http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=carbon+monoxide+alarms&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=6228701105&ref=pd_sl_2pjur29oc7_b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
