There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Reason for purchase: I'm not a professional but a homeowner and father who just switched over to Natural Gas.
I have the wall gas/fire alarm detectors but be warned the gas they detect is carbon Monoxide. That is not the same as a Natural Gas leak coming into the appliances or from leaking pipes. Unless it is in large amounts you don't smell the chemical they add to natural gas.
So I had first purchased a very cheap plug in unit. For the price is worked just fine. Then began going off very often. I could not be sure if it was a leak again or just a defect. I know what a unit less then 30 bucks is not going to be the most precise. My families safety is worth the best.
First Impression; The Ridgid 36163 arrived today and I was very impressed with the quality of the unit. Very rugged and well built. I could see a professional using this daily. I was concerned at first that I was going to have to get into the weeds and learn how to use it. I have enough projects and programs I'm learning I don't want to add another complicated device. WELL I can tell you if you can turn it on you can use it. Calibration is as simple as it gets. You have vibration on and off, high sensitivity and low, on and off sound alert, and thats all there is to it. I still have my cheap plug in unit. If it goes off I check with this unit.
Final thought; I would gladly recommend this to my friends and family.
I turned it on and let it calibrate. I then went to our basement. Near the bathroom closed door, it detected gas at 40 ppm! I opened the door, went into the bathroom and the sensor started climbing up to 160 ppm. I went around and the bathroom and other areas and sure enough the concentration was higher where the gas meter was. All other suspect places and pipes were showing little concentrations like just outside of the bathroom door.
So then I took my wife's Windex and I started to spray all over and around the gas meter. Amazingly on one spot below a nut I saw a huge bubble forming! I took the Ridgid monitor to that spot and what do you know? >640 ppm in that spot. 640 is the max in the high sensitivity mode. I should have tried the low sensitivity mode to see how much more than 640 it was.
I got my tools, tightened the nut and the bubbles stopped. Soon after that the monitor registered 80 ppm there like in the rest of the bathroom.
I bet by tomorrow the gas smell will be history.
[Update. Next morning there is no gas smell and the sensor registers no gas]
The only drawback I will note with this tool is that it does time out after 10 minutes and shuts itself off to conserve power. This is particularly inconvenient in a situation like I described above, because the tool needs to be in an environment that is free of flammable gas when doing its calibration cycle after powering on. In my case, the detector shut off while I was in the crawlspace, so I had to crawl out in order to turn in back on.
