Gas cutoff system

Pete, Glad she survived. I had no idea birds were so sensitive to that kind of smoke. Losing a long term, intelligent pet like that would have been tragic.

I'm curious what brand/model valve you used.
It's a U.S Solid 1/2 inch motorized brass ball valve 9-24 VAC/DC 2 wire auto return. They're sold on Amazon for about $40. It's a full port valve rated at 100,000 cycles
I like the concept of you design. But according a response I got from US Solid, those ball valves are not rated for use with natural gas or propane. For safety's sake, get one that is rated for gas.
I agree. It's what I had lying around. Starting from scratch I would find one that is gas rated and will get around to changing it. Didn't specify the valve in the text for that reason but you asked.... I installed the gas detector in the kitchen to catch any possible failure in the system. It's hardwired to the Elk M1G.
What gas detector did you go with?

Very nice @keepersg.
2 years ago here left a pot of water boil dry in a Teflon pot. I did it trying to soften some plastic.
Typically Kitchen is off limits to me.
The effects of Teflon are typically death to a bird in the house which I did not know about.
This debacle sent my now 43 year old parrot to the bird hospital almost dead with lung damage.
She was put in an oxygen tent for 3 days which saved her. She is fine today.
No more Teflon in the house these days. Purchased an Air Fryer a few weeks back and did notice it used Teflon such that I returned it and purchased a ceramic based Air Fryer.
