BrassCraft Manufacturing has launched an updated Excess Flow Valve (EFV) that conforms to the new industry standard (ANSI Z21.93/CSA 6.30). This updated product continues to provide an advanced solution to homeowners that helps protect against gas related fires and explosions. The valve is omni-directional (installs in horizontal, vertical up or vertical down) and has no parts that can wear, break or misalign over time.
The EFV activates automatically to restrict gas flow at the appliance in the event of a gas line rupture or disconnect and automatically resets after the gas line is repaired. Plumbers will appreciate the product’s easy-to-install design as it installs like a standard gas fitting and can be oriented in any direction.
