Gas shut-off valve
What is an Automatic Gas Shut-Off Valve?
- Major earthquakes could break home gas lines, releasing gas and causing fires. In fact, according to the California Seismic Safety Commission, natural gas is typically a factor in about one out of four fire ignitions following earthquakes.
- Automatic Gas Shut-Off Valves (earthquake actuated valves), sense shaking in a building that is above a design level of shaking and automatically shut off the gas.
- Installing an automatic gas shut-off valve helps protect your home against gas-leak fires.
