Fireboy-Xintex Propane Fume Detector w/Plastic Sensor - No Solenoid Valve - Black Bezel Display

The Fireboy-Xintex Propane Fume Detector with Plastic Sensor represents essential safety equipment for any boat powered by propane appliances—whether you're running a galley stove, cabin heater, or water heater offshore. After years on the water, serious boaters know that propane leaks pose a silent threat in confined spaces where vapors can accumulate quickly and without warning. This detector continuously monitors air quality and alerts you before dangerous concentrations develop, giving you and your crew peace of mind during extended cruises or overnight anchoring.

The unit features a plastic sensor element that reliably detects propane fumes at safe threshold levels, paired with a black bezel display that provides clear visual confirmation of operating status in low-light cabin environments. This model ships without a solenoid valve, making it an ideal replacement or retrofit option for existing installations where the valve assembly remains functional. The compact 4 x 4 x 8 inch footprint and lightweight 1.6 lb profile allow flexible mounting options throughout the engine room or galley without requiring extensive structural modifications—critical when working in tight marine spaces.

Cruisers and liveaboards who depend on onboard propane systems benefit most from this detector's reliable long-term performance and straightforward installation process. Coast Guard regulations and insurance requirements increasingly mandate propane detection on vessels carrying fuel systems, and the Fireboy-Xintex unit meets these standards while integrating seamlessly into existing piping networks. Whether you're upgrading aging detection equipment or commissioning a new propane system, this sensor-only configuration offers flexibility for experienced mariners who understand their existing valve configuration and want reliable, code-compliant fume detection.
