​California is overdue for a large-scale earthquake. Did you know that a major cause of fires and damage during an earthquake are attributed to broken natural gas lines?
Who’s going to turn off the gas in the event of a large earthquake?
Are your Manual Shut-off Valves working properly should you need to turn off the gas?
Do you have Automatic Seismic Shut-off Valves in place?
Installing Seismic Shut-off Vales can answer these questions for you. They are essential to protecting schools and facilities from gas fires in the event of an earthquake.

​If you haven't installed Seismic Shut-off Valves at your school yet don't wait any longer.

ETEX Carpentras France needs an earthquake valve for pipe DN100 4 barg (6'', 60 psi) following their insurance company's recommendations. Suppliers of such valve is difficult to find. Do you have a distributor in Europe? What would be the budjet price. Thank you. [email protected]

Efficient gas pipeline installation requires meticulous planning, skilled labor, and quality materials. Prioritize safety, adhere to regulations, conduct thorough site assessments, and employ advanced welding techniques. Regular inspections ensure longevity and reliability. Engage experienced professionals for a seamless, durable, and compliant installation.

Make sure to create a plan that addresses your gas system and outlines what to do in the event of an earthquake. Talk with your family about the plan, so everyone knows what to do. Additionally, consult local authorities for additional information on gas safety during earthquakes.
