Disclaimer: We received the TopTes PT199 gas detector for free to review and test. The review below is our honest opinion and testing of the product. <\/strong><\/p>\n TopTes is a new company that sells a few different portable testing tools that can be used at home, in your RV, or anywhere.<\/p>\n The PT199 combustible gas leak detector (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>\u00a0is the smallest version they offer. There is also a PT210 that I will compare the PT199 to later on in this review.<\/p>\n This small testing tool can find gas leaks in gas lines, grills, stoves, furnaces, water heaters, and anything else that is connected to a combustible gas.<\/p>\n Combustible gases the TopTes can detect include propane, natural gas, methane, gasoline, sewer gas, diesel, and more.<\/p>\n See Also: Best Small Portable Propane Heaters For Indoor & RV Use<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Since fire and carbon monoxide alarms don’t test for many other gases, you might find at home or in your RV, a combustible gas indicator like the TopTes is a great tool for anyone.<\/p>\n In this review, I’ll go over the features the TopTes PT199 offers, talk about the best way to use it, and give our opinion based on testing in our RV and home.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Check Price at Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n The PT199 TopTes combustible gas leak detector is very simple and easy to use.<\/p>\n There’s a power button, a sensitivity button, and a backlit LED screen that will show you the levels of gas being detected.<\/p>\n The LED screen will change from a green back light to red if high gas levels are detected.<\/p>\n There’s also an audible alarm that makes a ticking noise. The ticking gets faster as the levels of combustible gas increase.<\/p>\n See Also:\u00a0Propane Tank Recertification: How & Where To Get Recertified<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n The power button turns the gas indicator on or off. If left on the TopTes will turn off automatically after 5 minutes.<\/p>\n There’s also a low battery indicator that will appear when it gets low on battery power (2 AAA batteries).<\/p>\n It’s made to be super portable. Basically, a tool you can have in a drawer or toolbox.<\/p>\n It measures only 6.5 inches long and is about as round as a dry erase marker. There’s a belt clip on the end.<\/p>\n The life of the sensor is 3 years, which is standard for this type of detector.<\/p>\n It’s CE<\/a>, UKCA<\/a>, RoHS<\/a>, and FCC<\/a> certified. That means it can be used in the USA, Canada, UK, and EU.<\/p>\nTopTes PT199 Portable Gas Leak Detector Overview<\/h2>\n
