I don't see why not. I hooked it up to my gas connection that I had coming in my bathroom. The bathroom door is always open. I use it in the daytime, then I use an electric one at nighttime because I close my bedroom door (bathroom and bedroom next to each other) just to be on the safe side. Hope this is helpful.

As with any gas appliance there is a chance that a fire could happen. Also, carbon monoxide could be emitted during use. Personally I would only use it outdoors & not run the risk of fire or someone becoming ill.

No need for that...as long as the equipment sensors are visible through the clear glass of cabinet doors (pic on-line makes the glass look opaque / frosted...it's actually clear). Hope this helps.

Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house. Mine has never detected has but it has a test button and the alarm is audible throughout my entire house (1700 sq ft.). There is a constant green light on and dashes across the screen indicating it is on. The unit comes with an instruction booklet that explains the display and what to do if the device goes off. We have a gas furnace and it's peace of mind to have this. I live in Oklahoma and just recently a house exploded from a gas leak. This would undoubtedly warn me if levels rose that high so that myself and proper authorities could take action. Hello, no this does not display the current CO2 level in the house.

It's only function is to measure pressure and pressure differential. It doesn't detect carbon monoxide or any other gasses.

As long as u nake sure the heat control is set right, no gas leak. We have no carbon dioxide leakage. I cannot see a problrn with running a. Line anywhere in the house as long as u do it right. U might ask kozy world for specifics. We have it ibstalled in our kitchrn (1938 built house) and a gas fireplace in livibg room (520 sqft house) and it is very efficient! Last year we. Had power bills over $150 a month plus gas bill of $40 per. Month in winter. We have been using this since September and the total gas and electric for 2 months is only $120. I am not an expert (has been drip under pressure) but we love our kozy workd heater. As long as u nake sure the heat control is set right, no gas leak. We have no carbon dioxide leakage.

Yes you can. I use mine for testing the temperature for lye when I'm soap making. Its one less thing you need to wash and it works very well even at a distance

I have two KW heaters in a house I'm working on. I haven't experienced any gas leaks from the units so far. As far as carbon dioxide, I haven't noticed any of that either.

No--as a purchaser of this Rheem Gas Water Heater about a year ago, I can tell you that it utilizes a piezo-electric starter, which requires no work from you. Your only consideration is to hook up the gas line using proper silicone tape (especially for gas applications, so you won't later have any gas leakage) or pipe putty. Many supply houses and/or hardware outlets sell a reasonable meter (you can clip it in your shirt pocket like a pen) to measure any gas around connections) if you do the job yourself. I easily installed the Rheem by myself, mounting it a half foot above the basement floor (platforms are sold for this purpose) in case of a basement flood, which did in my previous water heater!

Yes. I use mine on gas burners and have for years. I use it mostly for steaming vegetables as I can easily check the water level during the cooking.

Yes, calibrate it away from the area to be tested. It will start to respond when you are near the leak then the response intensifies the closer you get to the leak. It samples combustible gases in the atmosphere, the closer you are to the leak the greater the amount of combustible gases.

You cannot actually test for radon or any other type of gas for that matter with this tool. This unit only measures pressure. There are manometers on existing radon reduction systems to monitor whether your fan is pulling the gas out at the correct amount or not.

The short answer is "Yes". However, the unit may be too sensitive and sound the alarm because of the carbon monoxide gas emitted by your vehicles. I use mine in the kitchen area of a park model mobile home to detect any propane leakage. Any inconvenience caused by a false alarm is insignificant when compared with the alternative.

It is not a detector of gases. It measure pressure and pressure differentials. Hope this helps!

I have used mine a couple of times inside just to test how much fuel I would need to cook. There is an odor that I would think would become unpleasant without an open window.

For sure, it would work good for removing gas. make sure you don't leave the seals exposed for too long or they will swell up and more than likely die.
