A Brass Gas Valve is a type of valve that is used for the control of gasses. This type of valve has a long handle, which is a labor-saving design. This style of valve is typically in stock and is ready to deliver. It is forged with the latest forging equipment, which ensures that the valve body is stable and crack-resistant.

The mechanical gas valves from have latching devices and are U.L. listed for use with Zone Defense systems. To close the valve, the user must pull on the cable that is connected to the latch. When the pull is released, the latch closes the valve. If the latch fails to close, a spring in the valve will close the valve. Alternatively, the mechanical valves from Ansul are suitable for this system. These valves perform the same functions as the gas shut-off valves.

When the lever of the valve is in the down position, it should be parallel to the gas pipe. In case of a leak, it is important to ensure that the pipe is disconnected and capped. A "live" natural gas line can be dangerous for anyone who does not know better. Older homes may also have "live" gas lines, such as fireplaces and light fixtures.

Mechanical brass gas valves from are designed with safety in mind. They contain a latching device that holds them open. The latching device also acts as a safety device in a fire situation. It helps to control the flow of gas, so that a fire can be prevented.

Brass ball valves are dependable devices that keep water flowing. However, they can be damaged if improperly operated, which can result in sudden loss of water service. Over-turning of brass ball valves can also cause damage. This can result in leaks, damage to the valve, and possibly even blowing apart the plumbing.

Ball valves can be operated manually or through an actuator. In manual operation, a wrench or lever is turned manually by the operator to open or close the valve. The torque rotates the lever arm 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise to open or close the valve. If the lever arm is parallel to the pipe, the valve is open, while if it is perpendicular, it means the valve is closed.

Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper. The zinc content makes brass a tough metal with good mechanical properties. It is also resistant to chemicals and corrosion. However, it is prone to dezincification when exposed to demineralized water and chloride solutions. Dezincification reduces the mechanical strength of brass valves, but it can also be used in air and water applications.

The Acris PFA-lined ball valves feature unsurpassed corrosion, permeation, and microbial contamination resistance. The valves are designed for zero leak shutoff and are available in standard and full port designs. They are available with a number of advanced features, including a bevel at the port lip.
