Why not have these installed on the main lines that would protect all
homes? Or is this a money maker for someone? If a break occurs before the
meter this valve will do no good.
Thank you Eric for the video. I can see you take pride in your work!
Novick: Earthquake gas valves stop fires
Portland City Commissioner Steve Novick wants to pass a law requiring homeowners to install an automatic shutoff valve on their natural gas lines to prevent ...
Call some expensive service-person, just to reset a truck-vibration false
valve shutoff? Totally unacceptable. What about poor people on fixed
incomes, who can't afford unnecessary service calls? It is better for them
to freeze-to-death on cold winter nights? Or to burn their house down, when
they plug in electric heaters that can barely keep them warm, after the
furnace no longer heats due to frequent false tripping, because the
service-person can't come until next week? There are many ways to detect
gas leaks, that most any do-it-yourselfer can handle. *I can reset my own
circuit breakers, so why not this valve?* Besides, the valve is way too
expensive, and does not detect excess flow? (Such a valve should have at
least 2 triggers, certainly for that high price: excessive flow, excessive
vibration, and then maybe an optional electronic gas presence (leakage)
sensor input would be nice. And such an electronic sensor should *not* be
triggered by power outage or blinks in the power, nor require
over-complicated battery changes. If a battery is needed, it should be just
as easy to change the battery as in a smoke-detector.) If I can light a
pilot light, then I should be able to reset my own valves.
And I agree with the complaints. This would seem to be a gas company issue,
and not even a home-owner issue.
Half-baked not-so-good ideas, are not the proper basis for rushing to
policy. Why are politicians such morons, that they can't seem to think of
all the possible downsides?
Edited to add: I see from another video, that the valve can be reset with a
screwdriver.
Why not put them on main lines rather than each individual house?
