The 12792 uses the same latch-and-spring pull-to-close mechanism as the 12790 (3\/4-inch) and 12791 (1-inch) — a trip cable from the Amerex MRM or PRM release module pulls the latch on system activation, allowing an internal spring to close the valve and cut off the gas supply to the protected cooking appliances. The 1-1\/4-inch pipe size makes the 12792 the correct gas valve for larger commercial kitchen gas supply configurations where multiple high-BTU appliances share a 1-1\/4-inch main supply line.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eIn large commercial kitchens — busy restaurants, school cafeterias, hospital kitchens, and institutional food service operations — the gas supply manifold serving the cooking line is often 1-1\/4-inch or larger to handle the combined BTU demand of multiple fryers, ranges, and griddles operating simultaneously. The 12792 provides the commercial kitchen emergency gas shut off valve capability needed for these larger configurations, cutting off the full 1-1\/4-inch gas supply during a Amerex KP system discharge. UL listed for both natural gas and LP gas service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eTogether with the 12790 (3\/4-inch) and 12791 (1-inch), the 12792 completes the three-size Amerex mechanical gas valve series that covers the full range of commercial kitchen gas supply line sizes for KP system installations. All three are available through authorized amerex distributors as standard amerex fire suppression system parts. For fire protection contractors managing large commercial kitchen portfolios, stocking all three sizes ensures the correct 1 inch gas valve, 3\/4 gas valve, or 1 1\/4 gas valve is immediately available for any Amerex KP installation or replacement situation without waiting for special orders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n \u003cbutton class=\"accordion-header\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion-title\"\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion-icon\"\u003e⌄\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content-inner\"\u003e\n \u003ctable class=\"specs-table\"\u003e\n \u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n \u003ctbody\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerex Corporation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12792\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePipe Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1-1\/4 inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePull-to-close mechanical latch with spring closure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompatible Systems\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmerex KP kitchen fire suppression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGas Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural gas and LP gas (UL listed)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCertifications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUL Listed, NFPA 96, OEM Original\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n \u003c\/table\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n \u003cbutton class=\"accordion-header\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion-title\"\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; Compliance (NFPA 96)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"accordion-icon\"\u003e⌄\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/button\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content-inner\"\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eInstall the 12792 in the 1-1\/4-inch gas supply line upstream of all protected cooking appliances per NFPA 96, the amerex kp system manual, and local gas code.

It uses a pull-to-close latch mechanism — under normal operation the valve is held open by a latch, and when the suppression system activates, a trip cable from the release module pulls the latch to close the valve via an internal spring, shutting off the gas supply automatically and safely. This gas shut off valve for range applications is UL listed for both natural gas and LP gas service, covering the two fuel types found in commercial kitchen installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe Amerex 12791 is the 1-inch companion to the 12790 (3\/4-inch) and 12792 (1-1\/4-inch) mechanical gas valves — together covering the three most common gas supply line sizes for commercial kitchen cooking equipment. Per NFPA 96, an automatic gas shutoff valve is required for all gas-fueled appliances protected by a kitchen fire suppression system.

This local reset protocol ensures a qualified professional has cleared the hazard zone and verified the suppression system is back in a ready state before fuel is reintroduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n \u003c!-- Section 4: FAQ --\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-item\"\u003e\n \u003cbutton class=\"accordion-header\"\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"accordion-title\"\u003eFAQ\u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003cspan class=\"accordion-icon\"\u003e⌄\u003c\/span\u003e\n \u003c\/button\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content\"\u003e\n \u003cdiv class=\"accordion-content-inner\"\u003e\n \u003ch3\u003eWhen should I specify a 1-1\/4\" valve over a 1-1\/2\" model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eThe choice is determined by the total BTU load of your secondary branch line. The BFGV-125 is sized for facilities where a 1-1\/4\" diameter is required to feed medium-to-large culinary batteries without inducing a significant pressure drop. Always consult your system's as-built drawings to match the valve size to the manifold diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eDoes this valve require a specific mounting orientation?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eYes. To ensure the internal gate seats properly during a mechanical fuel termination event, the valve must be installed in accordance with the flow direction arrow on the body. Improper alignment can lead to galling or a partial seal, which would violate NFPA 17A requirements for a total fuel shut-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003ch3\u003eCan the BFGV-125 be reset from the pull station?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eNo. This valve utilizes a local manual reset protocol, meaning a technician must physically reset the valve at the installation point under the hood. This acts as a safety buffer, preventing fuel from being turned back on until the hazard zone has been cleared and the suppression system is back in a ready state.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cscript\u003e\ndocument.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {\n const headers = document.querySelectorAll('.accordion-header');\n headers.forEach(header =\u003e {\n header.addEventListener('click', function() {\n this.parentElement.classList.toggle('active');\n });\n });\n});\n\u003c\/script\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"application\/ld+json\"\u003e\n{\n \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\/\",\n \"@type\": \"Product\",\n \"name\": \"Buckeye 1-1\/4\\\" Mechanical Gas Valve | BFGV-125\",\n \"description\": \"UL Listed, FM Approved heavy-duty cast metal normally open mechanical gas valve for the Buckeye Kitchen Mister BFR fire suppression system. 1-1\/4 inch NPT tension-release actuation via 1\/16 inch stainless steel cable.
