BRASSCRAFT HAS SAFETY IN MIND! THERMAL EXCESS FLOW TECHNOLOGY

Jill Shippy

Let me introduce the latest innovation from Brasscraft Manufacturing Company – the Safety+Plus®2 Thermal Excess Flow Valve.  This technology provides the ultimate protection against excess gas build up and helps prevent gas related fires in the event of a gas line rupture or disconnect and explosions in the event of fire.

BrassCraft Safety+PLUS2

BrassCraft’s Safety+PLUS2 gas connection combines our patented excess flow valve technology and our new heat activation thermal technology to provide a safer gas connection for your home and family.

In the event of a gas line rupture or disconnect, the excess flow valve (EFV) restricts gas flow at the appliance to a non-hazardous level.  This restriction helps avert the potential for a dangerous release of gas into the home. Gas is controlled only at the point where the problem exists; the rest of your system will continue to function.   The EFV automatically resets once the gas line is properly repaired.

The thermal component utilizes a thermal intumescent ring that expands when exposed to extreme temperatures (400°F or more) and reduces the likelihood of an explosive event.

Features:

  • Thermal intumescent ring and excess flow technology
  • Compatible with most residential gas appliances; can be used with natural gas, LP gas (propane) and LP gas-air mixtures
  • Made of corrosion-resistant steel
  • 100% leak tested
  • Designed, machined and assembled in the USA
  • CSA certified to Z2193 for excess flow valve

Benefits:

  • Helps protect against gas build ups
  • No special tools required for installation
  • Easy to install; Omni-directional installation

All Safety+Plus2 valves are sold with our ProCoat® coated gas connectors. These connectors provide superior corrosion resistance against most harsh household chemicals.  They are UV and salt resistant and 100% performance tested.  Available for gas ranges, cook-tops, dryers and water heaters in a wide variety of configurations and length.  All ProCoat gas connectors are designed, machined and assembled in the United States.

Available at The Home Depot stores.
