Unlike a mechanical gas valve, which is held open by a latch connected to the detection cable and closes when that cable goes slack, this electric valve closes in response to an electrical signal sent when the AUTOMAN or comparable release mechanism fires, making it the appropriate choice for system designs that call for electric rather than mechanical gas shutoff integration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cp\u003eSized for a 1 inch gas line, this valve is selected based on the gas piping size feeding the specific appliance or appliance group it protects. Cutting fuel supply at the moment of discharge is a critical part of the overall suppression strategy, since continuing to feed gas to a burner during and after a wet chemical discharge can undermine the agent's ability to fully knock down and prevent re-ignition of the fire.\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\u003eAnsul \/ Pyro-Chem\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e013708\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eComponent Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectric Gas Shutoff Valve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eValve Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Inch\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActuation Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElectric (Signal from Release Mechanism on Actuation)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n          \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSystem Compatibility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAnsul and Pyro-Chem Kitchen Fire Suppression Systems\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 and Compliance\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\u003eKitchen suppression systems are pre-engineered systems under NFPA 17A and NFPA 96, and gas valve installation and wiring must be performed by a certified system distributor along with coordination from a licensed gas fitter for the piping connection itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cul\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSemiannual Professional Service:\u003c\/strong\u003e A qualified technician tests the electric gas valve as part of required semiannual service, confirming it closes correctly when the release mechanism sends its actuation signal.\u003c\/li\u003e\n        \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCorrect Sizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e The valve must match the gas line size and appliance fuel demand specified in the system's design documentation.
