Key Features
Overview
The Klein Tools Compact Combustible Gas Leak Detector (ET190) is a pen-style detector for finding combustible gas leaks. This is a combustible gas leak detector designed for checking gas lines, fittings and appliances quickly, with a detection range from 50 to 2000 ppm.
That range covers both minor and major leaks. Low-level detection at 50 ppm catches a weeping fitting, and the upper end tells you when you are dealing with something bigger. A High and Low sensitivity toggle lets you tune detection to the environment and reduce false alarms when you are pinpointing a source.
Alerts are both visual and audible. Multi-level LED indicators and escalating audible tones give instant feedback, so you know you are getting closer to a leak even in a loud mechanical room or a dark crawlspace. Klein also lists a work light.
Setup is fast: the detector automatically zeroes for 30 seconds at startup. It runs on two AAA batteries, included, and works from 32°F to 122°F (0°C to 50°C).
The ET190 is lightweight and pocket-sized at 6-3/8" x 1-1/8" x 7/8" (16.1 x 2.9 x 2.3 cm) and 1.8 oz (51 g), with a pen clip to keep it handy. Who should buy it: HVAC techs, plumbers, gas fitters, appliance installers and home inspectors who want a leak detector that is always in the pocket.

Pro Tip
Power it on in fresh air and let the 30-second auto zero finish before you approach the fitting. Zeroing next to a leak sets the baseline too high and hides small leaks.
