ELK Products, Inc. has a water cutoff valve, ELK-WSV, for controlling the water supply in a home or business in case of a water leak or draining pipes in the winter.
Is there a need for a Natural Gas Cutoff Valve for automation control?
The Gas Cutoff Valve could turn off the gas in the case of a fire or detected gas leak.
It could incorporate a seismic detector to cut off the gas after an earth quake. This feature is required in some states.
It could have a lightning detector to detect a direct lightning strike into the gas line. Lightning can burn a hole in the flexible gas lines that are widely used in homes now. Such a hole can turn into a blow torch, burning down the house.
The system could be wireless or hardwired.
If you have any feelings on a gas cutoff valve, now is the time to speak up!
