Water and gas-leak components of protection systems
Wall-mounted units for detecting water leaks are also available to sound alarms if fixtures, pipes, or fittings start leaking. Hand-held thermal leak detectors are available as well, using infrared technology to indicate hidden energy leaks in walls, fireplace surrounds, or recessed lighting. Detectors for propane and natural-gas line leaks come as soapy solutions that households can brush on fittings to see whether bubbles indicate the escape of gas.
