Dangerous when defective
It had zero propane flow when installed. I found I had to loosen the acme hose connection slightly to get gas flow. That was my first red flag. Gas would not flow when properly tightened. The second major red flag was when I removed the POL connection with tank valve closed, and propane in the lines flowed freely out the gauge. This should never happen. All removable connections should self seal when removed. I will return gauge to my local store and hope it is a rare defective part. Mr. Heater should do better QA of propane products.

Will this work on the exchangeable tank available at supermarkets, etc.?
Yes, propane tank exchange locations commonly found at large box stores and gas stations are required to be equipped with an OPD valve that has a Type 1 connection for an ACME nut.

When a leak is detected, does this give an audible alarm?
No, there is no alarm on this gauge. Leak detection is performed by manual observation of the gauge, such as you know LP was not being used but the gauge is displaying a reduction of gas. Or when the gauge is connected and the valve opened on the tank, the needle will show fill level. Then close the tank valve, position of the needle should not have moved until the gas still in the LP line is evacuated/used or escaping on it's own.
