Magne-Flo Safety Valves

All valves are fitted with the Magne-Flo patented unique automatic shut off and reset mechanisms.

Fitting


The 28mm and 22mm valve should be fitted on the downstream/domestic side of the meter. Fitting is simple. Must be filled by a registered GasSafe engineer.


Daily Post _ Gas explosions

The valves can be fitted in any position and are not affected by orientation. They require no maintenance and are tamper proof.


Risk Areas Identified


Human error, theft of appliances, particularly boilers, unreliable tenants and owners, 'cowboy fitters', in fact every property with gas should have Magne-Flo automatic gas valves fitted. The valves are a 'fuse' for gas safety



An important by-product of this valve is realised in the event of the most common of fires in the home - kitchen fires. If the fire takes hold, it will melt the solder that joins the copper gas pipes. Should this happen and the pipes separate, the Magne-Flo valve will cut off the gas at the meter, limiting the damage. This will protect fire crews called to the scene.
