Features & Applications:

The TIF 8900 Combustible Gas Detector is a very popular broadband, solid-state combustible gas detector, and can be used in a wide range of applications. Easily detect gas leaks and combustible gas, vapor, or residue from gas lines and pipes, exhaust and fuel leaks, propane filling stations, fuel in marine bilges, heat exchanger leaks, manholes, arson residue, IAQ tests and liquid- or gas filled heating systems.

        Comments about TIF Instruments TIF 8900 Combustible Gas Detector:

        Appears to be a very good leak detector. I've only used it 3 times during inspections, but appears to work great. The only negative is the design - no where to clip the swivel metal gooseneck to the body of the unit. The metal gooseneck just kind of flops around. The unit does come with a carrying case though.

        Comments about TIF Instruments TIF 8900 Combustible Gas Detector:

        Being an auto mechanic since 1973,I've used TIF products for years and never had a problem with any of them.I bought the TIF 8900 because I converted a gasoline generator,in a shed, to natural gas and thought the tester would be good to check the shutoff valve if the engine stalled for some reason.Worked perfect for that and found 2 leaks in my house.
