THE VALVE
"Seismic gas shut-off
valves, .......... automatically stop the flow of natural gas into a home
when triggered by an earthquake."

Horizontal Valve 3/4" -
2"
Vertical Valve 3/4" - 2"
.
..........................
How
to choose the right size valve?
1. The size of the earthquake gas valve
has to match the size of your main gas pipe that enters your
home.
Before ordering a gas shutoff valve, you must measure the
gas line that enters your home.
2. Wrap a string around the main
gas line that enters your home. Mark
the exact point where the string overlaps the end.
3. Remove the string from your gas line and measure the distance
from the edge of the string to the mark you have made.
4. In the chart below in the column Pipe Circumference. The
corresponding number in the column Pipe Size is your gas line
pipe size.
5. This measurement will be within 1/8" of one of the
figures noted on the string, or in the chart below in the
column Pipe Circumference. The corresponding number in the
column Pipe Size is your gas line pipe size. Refer to this
measurement when ordering a gas shutoff valve.
