Combustible gas detectors

ChrisJ

Hi all,

Anyone have any experience with combustible gas detectors?
Can anyone recommend a good one? I see they make some that are built into CO detectors, but they get mixed reviews.

This is for natural gas.

I'd like something perhaps even good enough to wire into a system to shut the gas off if it detects something. But not something that will likely cause complaints over nothing.

No, no.
I mean one that can be installed in a space, similar to a smoke detector.

I've installed a number of Honeywell Analytics combustible gas detectors. They make models both with and without communications, but I think they all have a pair of relays in 'em. Certain models will take a slave sensor that will give you roughly twice the coverage for (I'm assuming!) less than twice the cost. Kele has a line, and lately we've been installing Armstrong sensors, no doubt as a value-engineered item, but IDR if they have a combustible gas option.

Macurco. I have used these in commercial boiler rooms.
