WARNING! There is the possibility of smelling gas prior to the apparatus giving an alarm. A gradually increasing gas concentration may also go unnoticed due to olfactory fatigue. By installing detectors, you can prevent gas intoxications, suffocations and explosions. They permit gas accumulation detection, depends on the type that you choose (methane, butane, propane, carbon monoxide), before these can be dangerous for your life and your goods. - Page 6 SOURCES OF GAS ESCAPE The most likely origin for an escape in domestic premises is the appliances and the connections between appliances and the fixed installation in the buildings. Appliances are the more common origin of escapes because they may be moved and suffer damage. Another cause of gas release, especially if cookers or boilers without flame failure control are in use, is the extinction of the flame, or its non-ignition, whether by spilling of liquid, or draughts.
