Requirements for Installing an Earthquake Gas Shut-Off Valve
Depending on your location and insurance requirements, you may be required to install an earthquake shut-off valve. The valve must be installed on the downstream side of your gas meter—the customer side—to ensure your property is protected.
Our licensed plumbers will assess your setup, provide recommendations, and handle the installation to code.
How Do Earthquake Gas Shut-Off Valves Work?
These valves are designed to sense seismic activity:
When an earthquake of sufficient magnitude occurs, the valve automatically shuts off your gas supply.
Once the shaking stops, you can follow the manufacturer’s instructions to restore gas service.
Before relighting appliances, it’s critical to ensure no leaks exist and that all equipment is safe to operate.
