What Is an Earthquake Gas Shut Off Valve and How Does It Work?

An earthquake gas shut off valve is a safety device installed on your home’s natural gas line. This valve is designed to automatically shut off your gas supply in the event of significant seismic activity, typically a 5.1 magnitude or higher. Once triggered, it prevents the uncontrolled flow of natural gas — reducing the risk of fires, explosions, and gas leaks that often follow earthquakes.

There are two primary types of valves:

Seismic shut-off valves that react to ground motion.
Excess flow valves that stop gas if a pipe breaks or leaks.

Both are critical safety upgrades for homeowners in earthquake-prone regions like ours. Velvet Plumbing provides reliable earthquake gas shut off valve installation for both residential and commercial properties, ensuring your family and investment are protected before disaster strikes.

Why Earthquake Gas Shut Off Valve Installation Is Crucial

Earthquake safety isn’t just smart — in many areas, it’s the law. Local building codes often require earthquake gas shut off valve installation when making major plumbing or gas upgrades, selling a home, or securing permits for renovations.

But even when not required, installing this valve is one of the smartest ways to safeguard your home. A ruptured gas line is one of the leading causes of fires and explosions following an earthquake. By proactively adding a shut-off valve:

You reduce fire risk.
Gain peace of mind knowing your family is protected.
Ensure your home complies with modern safety standards.

At Velvet Plumbing, we’ve helped hundreds of local homeowners secure their properties with expertly installed earthquake gas shut off valves. It’s a simple, affordable upgrade with serious long-term benefits.
