  • Smart valve gas shut-off system
    Patent number: 12492757
    Abstract: A smart valve gas shut-off system for use in a building to detect the presence of natural gas and to shut off the supply of gas leading to the appliance from where the gas was detected. The smart valve gas shut-off system uses a sensor to detect the natural gas and a sensor alarm, in the form of a light indicator or other indicator, that while the sensor is in the alarm state, the valve controlling the supply of gas to the appliance is disabled as well as the reset button, meaning the valve that controls the flow of gas cannot be opened.

  • Corrosion resistant gas service riser assembly
    Publication number: 20070176413
    Abstract: The present invention provides improved gas service riser assemblies. The improved gas service riser assemblies utilize an adapter to provide the transition from the plastic pipe used for underground distribution of natural gas to the metal pipe used in above ground natural gas distribution systems. Further, the improved gas service riser assemblies do not utilize the protective metal casing as a conduit for the natural gas thereby reducing the hazards associated with corrosion of the protective metal casing.
