Gas Alarm

[oakleyb]

I'm thinking of fitting this Amos LPG Gas Alarm 12 V DC from http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/Amos_LPG_Gas_Alarm_12_V_DC.html combined with one of these

12V DC Gas Solenoid Valve 1/4 Inch Bsp Fm again from http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/12V_Gas_Solenoid_Valve.html

My concern is that its cheaper than the Nasa \ Pilot alarms, does anyone have knowledge of these and also what type of switch would i need for solenoid

Thanks

I am just fitting the NASA alarm.From your point of view it doesn't have an output.But it is plainly made for marine as opposed to caravan use and the remote sensor can be fitted in the bilge or low point that is best covered on your vessel,yet visually monitored away at a conveniently higher level.

It's not clear if that one includes an external sensor or not - they seem to have a listing for the same device with an external sensor and at the original price before discount at: http://www.gasproducts.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_Amos_LPG_Marine_Gas_Alarm_12_V_DC.html

If it does not offer the external sensor, it is of limited value - you'll need to mount it inconveniently close to the floor if you are going to get any meaningful protection.
