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. francois.gallez@chovet-db2i.com

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.
