AEGIS Loss Control is pleased to announce its latest webinar, Thermal-Activated Shutoff Valves for Natural Gas, Propane & Butane on Wednesday, February 7, from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm
We invite you to join us for this informative webinar, where we will discuss the use of thermal-activated shutoff valves to prevent natural gas-fueled fires and protect both lives and property. We will explain how these devices work, where they should be installed, and how they can automatically stop the gas supply in the event of a fire. By attending this webinar, you will gain valuable insights into how to benefit from this technology.
Who Should Attend
Individuals responsible for natural gas operations and maintenance, risk management, standards development and field supervision would benefit from attending this webinar.
What is Covered
The majority of natural gas service delivery is done through high-pressure gas lines that terminate at or inside the customer’s building wall, where the pressure is reduced for consumption by an aluminum-based gas regulator. Structure fire, vehicle impact and building incidents can damage these regulators, allowing the release of high-pressure gas, which, if ignited, results in a large gas-fed fire that cannot be safely extinguished without shutting off the supply of gas. The delay between fire detection and the arrival of the fire department can cause extensive property damage and potential loss of life. Participants will learn about thermal-activated shutoff valves, which stop the flow of natural gas, propane or butane in the event of a fire. Installed on jurisdictional gas piping, upstream of the meter and regulator, this simple device protects lives and property by automatically stopping the gas supply when a fire occurs.
