Installing a new propane detector

I found a propane detector which has the same dimensions of the Atwood, but the numbers are turned. In other words, the Atwood measures 3 1/2 inches tall by 2 1/2 in wide. The one I found measures 2 1/2 in tall by 3 1/2 in wide.
Can I do the install and not fear a failure?

    Your current detector should have a model number, that's what I'd go by. It is possible that the new one is a typo, showing the dimensions turned around? It may still work, but if figures are correct, it would not look right, installed sideways.
