Macurco 70-0716-0802-3 Combustible Gas Detector

Product Description

The MACURCO 70-0716-0802-3 is a fixed combustible gas detector designed to continuously monitor ambient air for the presence of flammable gas concentrations. Sold under the GD-6 product line in a gray enclosure, this unit provides automated detection for environments where combustible gas leaks pose a safety risk. It is intended for permanent installation in commercial and light-industrial settings and is typically deployed by licensed HVAC technicians, fire-life-safety contractors, or facilities maintenance professionals. The GD-6 is a non-CO detector, meaning it targets combustible hydrocarbon gases rather than carbon monoxide.

The MACURCO GD-6 series combustible gas detector is suited for commercial buildings, mechanical rooms, parking garages, and other occupied or semi-occupied spaces where natural gas, propane, or other flammable gases may accumulate. It is commonly integrated into building automation or ventilation control systems to trigger alarms or actuate exhaust fans when gas concentrations reach a threshold. Installation is typically handled by licensed contractors familiar with gas detection equipment and local fire or mechanical codes.

Key Features

• Targets combustible gases, not carbon monoxide, making it appropriate for natural gas and propane leak detection applications
• Gray enclosure suited for wall-mount installation in mechanical and commercial environments
• GD-6 series design intended for fixed, continuous monitoring rather than portable spot-check use
• Sold as a single unit (each) for straightforward procurement and replacement

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style fixed combustible gas detector for use in commercial and light-industrial gas monitoring systems where a non-CO sensor head or controller is required.

Installation Notes

Installation of fixed combustible gas detectors should be performed by a licensed contractor in accordance with NFPA 72, local mechanical codes, and the manufacturer's installation guide. Power down the circuit at the panel before wiring the unit. Mount the detector at the appropriate height for the target gas — lower than air level for gases heavier than air, near the ceiling for gases lighter than air such as natural gas. Do not install in locations subject to direct water spray or outside the device's rated environmental range.
